"A medium ruby-purple color and expressive notes of black cherries, black raspberries and mulberries over allspice, cinnamon stick and milk chocolate. Full bodied with a medium level of finely grained tannins, it has a generous amount of berry and spice flavors in the mouth nicely offset by crisp acid. It finishes long with lingering baking spice and mulberry notes."

"Musky strawberry and raspberry aromas are complicated by minerals and a whiff of orange peel. Juicy, spicy and tightly wound, with sweetness in the background. With aeration an element of smoky minerality emerged, but will this youthfully ungiving pinot become more expansive with time in bottle?" Reviewed by Stephen Tanzer.
