Decided to have this with Turkey dinner. Excellent match. Decanted for 2 hours. Nose was filled with oak and smoke while pouring into decanter. Wine starts with berries and slight vanilla flavour, very little tannin as one would expect from a new world Pinot. Alcohol is present without being overpowering but lacks acidity. Overall this is a very good wine. Definitely needs to be drunk now. This wine has all of the components of a great Pinot but i did not come away from it feeling wowed. Only had one bottle to share with 4. guess I'll have to get another one to confirm.

Note as before, except this seemed a little larger than a month ago, and there was a noticeable smokiness, akin to Lapsang Souchong tea. Think smoky, bright sour cherries with a quite persistant finish, and you'll have the essence of this wine. Was excellent with baked wild Coho salmon with a light tomato-based sauce with pepper, salt, and tarragon!

Aged very well. Very smooth raspberry and blackberry. Finishes with a hint of tannins. Really enjoyed.

Aromas of licorice, plum and chocolate. Good balance and long finish. Excellent with Spanish Manchego.
