Tight, tight, tight! This wine is very youthful and tightly-wound, but contains all the elements to become a very good Pinot in 2-4 years.Bright medium ruby with the beginnings of some garnet. Very shy nose (even when poured through a Vinturi). Just a few subtle scents come through: crisp, just-picked cherry and stony minerals, with a lifted floral element. Bone dry, crisp (mouthwatering acids) and lightly tannic in the mouth. Fairly full body. Lots of cherry-skin fruit and lean, stony minerals in the mouth. Clean, medium-long finish. This just needs time to shine (at least a couple of years). For now, B. In a few years, probably higher. Was $24.99 from WTSO.com. Imported by MHW, Ltd., Manhasset, NY.

Got it from WTSO also, want my money back. Is thin, tightly wound, almost no fruit. I generally do not drink pinot, but it just seems like no reason for drink it. It doesn't have the undesirable rotten forest floor nose and taste, but I just cannot see a reason to drink it. I drink a lot of reds of all varieties. I would give this a low 80s rating.
Perhaps it's shut down for now and time will open it back up?
