    Pretty dense red. Spice, red fruits, cinnamon, and vanilla on the nose. Light cranberry, red fruits, but with a big heavy dark fruit finish. My take on this wine is that it is a mix of a super big oaky California pinot from a ripe-ripe vintage, but filtered through an underripe Burgundy vintage. While not devoid of pleasurable character (certainly drank ok with the lamb chops) it fails on both sides of the pinot noir spectrum – Cali-power and Burg-finesse. Neither here nor there.

Light lemon color. Fresh on the nose with subtle notes of heavy cream, pear and pine needles. Full bodied on the palate and dry with good acidity.
