Wet cardboard (but in a good way); an old rusty car in the mist. Charcoal (Dar says "so much so that I had to pull the glass away and make sure nobody was barbecuing nearby"). Some graphite/pencil-lead. Some nice dirtiness, mustiness, earthiness (green earth, what you smell just underneath a swatch of grass), but some nice sweet vanilla too, and hints of raspberries; also a nice pee aroma something like what you smell in the toilet when not flushing some pee, but in a good way, of course, overall. On the mouth it is a little light, not incredibly well structured, OK tannin and acidity making it very well balanced, however, overall. Not a lot of pizzazz, though the sense of HONESTY does indeed come through, which makes up for a lot; a classic Pinot Noir taste profile. As time went on the mouth-feel opened-up and this wine became a little more bold on the palate; still balanced, albeit with perhaps a touch more acidity for the general quaffer. A sincere and truthful Pinot Noir which I sure wish could be found for half this price, but I’ll take it. WOULD I DRINK IT AGAIN? Yes, if you brought some to me I would smile and get the glasses. WOULD I BUY IT AGAIN? Probably not, at least not right now as there are too many other PNs at this price-point that I would like to try first.

Med. Purple. Classic Pinot Noir nose with lots of Earth and blueberry/raspberry. Taste (pp) earthy notes dominate this lighter bodied typical 2005. Slightly tart berry notes on finish. With air, sweet, dark fruit comes forward. Very pleasant but earthy complexity does not come through enough on the palate to make this outstanding.

Wasn't sure I like this at first taste, it is earthy, smooth, not quite full body but still pretty elegant. It was amazing to pair with goat cheese!!! these two absolutely dance in harmony.
