I don't generally care for Pinot Noirs. I find them too light and too fruity. But THIS Pinot Noir is delicious. Bold for a PN. Delicious with the Mediterranean Grilled Veggie & Lamb pizza we made and, I suspect, also will be delicious with the duck for which it was originally intended (to be tried soonish). A real winner for Pinot Noirs!

Fresh crisp taste with a hint of tobacco. Light but best after 1/2 hour of airing. Bit pricey as other pinots from the area is just as good half the cost.
