This bottle constantly evolved over the 36 hours I enjoyed it, from earthy to fruity to spicy/ herbal and back to the earthy spectrum. When the glass was empty, it literally smelled like someone had poured in crushed up dried leaves and twigs. Black cherries, cranberry, and cinnamon stick, medium bodied with a lingering (40 secs) finish. $40

No being stung here, this is a well made Pinot with character. Jim Prosser makes great wine!!

Almost as delicious as before, but my enjoyability of it was less this time. Maybe the pairing was worse? Would still order again, but be more mindful of the pairing.

Seriously the best Pinot I’ve ever had so far. The smell is phenomenal, and this paired excellently with the truffle butter/salmon.
