Beautiful! So soft and full. Floral upfront and bay hint at the end. Food wine in two senses: great with food, and if you don't have any other food, you can live off of this.

Plenty of minerals and complexity but still very drinkable. It won't scare the average palate away. This wine is a great example of what a full flavored but 'pretty' Pinot can taste like. For those who think Pinot's can only be weak or peppery I recommend trying this wine. Your mouth will fill with fruit, acid and alcohol in just the right measurements.
This is really a top notch Pinot that will be difficult to beat for under 500 bucks.
