Night one was a touch too austere for non food drinking, but had some herbal and acid allure. Day 2 reveals another complete animal, with cumin, green herb and tart raspberry with autumnal field grass. Gritty rainy sidewalk oak and afternoon coastal ranges breeze. Like coming off dry land. Pencil lead, charcoal, and some warmth.

I don't know what's happening with Pinot Noir lately, but I am loving the rich and velvety mouthfeel of this wine. With a nose full of red currant and raisin, the acidity is nicely balanced to clear up the line between plum-fruit and young leather on the finish. Almost Zin-like, without being boastful or spicy, this wine fits the bill for a "big" red without being macho. Think "Bromance." lol
