Wild game and violets on the nose. Supple mouthfeel as it glides across the palate-minerals, spiced candied fruits, cardamom and black cherry fill the entire palate. Smoke and cassis round out the long and layered finish. Decanted for an hour, drinking well!

I absolutely love how this is drinking now. Forrest floor and mushroom on the nose. Hint of caramel and cocoa as well. Lush, complex with a long distinct finish.

Great match with rich meal. Bold but youthful. Needs a few years. Complex flavors, good acid. Gonna need to buy more.

Lush, with bright fruit and acid. Complex flavors. Glad I have more because this will be even better in a few years. Delicious.

The best Pinot Noir I have had in years. Complex yet smooth as silk. I need to find more. Shhh! Don't tell anyone

This is really great but a little sweet on entry. Nice forest floor and mushroom aromas with sweet red fruit upon swirl. Nice stewed strawberry initially with some white tea, ginger, and vanilla. Long finish and a nice mouth feel.

Nose is floral with lavender, violets, and undertones of orange blossoms. Allspice notes at first with on overall herbaceousness as the wine opens more. Flavors of dark, dark cherry. Almost zin like with raspberry candy like flavors. Robust spice notes of clove and black pepper with fine grained tannins.
Very mouth filling. Almost sappy. Great mouthfeel Alcohol and oak peak thru a bit unbalanced.

Bouquet garni nose with floral notes and peppery, braised meat undertones. Raspberry candy and dark cherry dance with plum and meatier elements. Big oak. Big alcohol, but well balanced. Should sit for 2+ years
