Nice balance of fruit alcohol tannin. Light. Hmm originally gave it a 9.0. Downgrading after second try. A bit too tart. Better with food but hmmm

Easy drinking, leading value, concentrated feel, hearty pinot with berry notes. Lots of sediment in the 2009.

Very smoky, very berry. Hints of apricot and citrus. Low acidity and very mild tannins create nice pleasant finish. I love Burgundy Pinot and it's very different yet pretty good. I guess I should give New World a chance.
