Smells like Pinot, looks like Cab, but finishes more like Zin. Strawberry, chocolate and loads of Christmas spice. Jammy and hits the palate like a brick. Is it good? Yes. But it lacks focus. That has to be taken into account.

I think it's time for me to move on from over extracted PN. Not that I was ever there. I truely wonder what would happen to sales if they quit dipping the bottle like Maker's Mark?

BEAUTIFUL color on this wine, just stunning.
The nose gives off delicate red and pink flower notes, along with cola, cedarwood and white chocolate.
This is one of the prettiest wines I've ever tasted. Pure velvet luxury on the palate with candied red cherry and balanced acidity.
Compared to the Belle Glos Dairyman pinot noir I had last month this was a good deal better. Now onto Las Alturas!

Haven’t had it in years. No balance. Below average bottle of wine.

So extracted! Is this a Pinot or a Petite Sirah? Started out with aromas of ripe cherries, but after a few minutes, it starts smelling like stewed prunes. Not for me since I don't think a Pinot should ever be this heavy. Flabby for a Pinot too. Disappointing.

Don't need to say too much about this. Year in year out, so consistent. Very exotic, as always. Complex with an extended, textured finish. Well behaved.
