A bit heavy and full-bodied for a Pinot Noir, with jammy, pie filling cherry and cola flavors. Turns chocolaty on the finish, like pudding. Delicious, but the structure is off.——S.H.(5/1/2010)—— 86

There is an unmistakable scent of rubber on the nose, but also cinnamon and forest floor. The dusty palate is broad and characterized by some animal qualities, raspberry and vanilla. The finish is redolent with charred oak, which makes it seem heavy. ——W.E.(10/1/2002)—— 86
