When you tell your friends enough times that you are not a fan of new world Pinot the something like this comes along to challenge you. For sure this is NY from just the nose but it’s also very much cool climate feel, restraint , well mannered and made with a soft hand. Dare we even say this is elegant to make believers of even the biggest critics of the style like us. Very solid now and will easily live and improve for another 10. Superb 92

Not the dense mouthfeel it used to have, but a nice flavor with a bit of pepper on the palate.
