This is a fantastic little bottle of Pinot Noir. It's got fabulous structure for a wine at this price point. The nose shows some light forest floor aromas with a modest concentration of fruit but the wine really comes alive on the palate. Real zippy acids and stiff little tannins support bright, vivid wild berry fruit tones and highlight the mineral, herb, and spice notes on the finish. This combine the ripeness of some new world regions with the firmness and focus of Burgundy. It's a lovely wine today but will benefit from 12-18 months of age allowing the tannins to soften somewhat, though i might very well prefer it today! Enjoy this with grilled Salmon or lean beef roast. 89pts
