Even a couple years past its drinking window, as it in now, this wine is interesting and delicious. In the glass, we see an ever-so-slight hint of rust around the edge. Nose is faded, but one can still sense some dark fruit (blueberries and touch of strawberries). Not as light as I prefer in a Pinot Noir, but enjoyable and kind of juicy. Almost smooth on the palate. A bit of cinnamon spice somewhere in there. Giving it a 90 as I imagine this was pretty special a few years back. Drink up.

Light ruby in color. Cherry, earth, cocoa and forest floor on the nose. Flavors of red fruit, smoke and a bit of cola. Crisp, with solid acidity balancing the fruit flavors. Opened prettily in the glass. This is drinking very nicely now, but could be held for several years. Good value.

Blind Chard and Pinot from around the World: Dark red color. Drank 1 glass blind over 45 minutes. Nose is captivating initially, earthy, floral, funk, berries, very bright. The palate seems consistent, bright, ripe fruits, berry, strawberry, fresh, good acid, and length. With time in glass this just seemed to get bigger and bigger and become somewhat less attractive. Pegged as RRV.
