A year later and it is still good, maybe even a little better. My bottle has started to develope wine crystals or wine diamonds which is a good thing and shows that this wine has some nice quality. A little more earthy this year, not much fruit. Acidity is excellent and moderate tannins round out the wine. Still shows lovely balance. For around $20 I think I may get a few more before they all are gone from the winery. Last time I tried this wine (a little over a year ago) I really enjoyed it.

Not too often do I drink Pinot Noir. If given the choice give me a <strong>Cab Franc </strong>or <strong>Cab Sauvignon</strong>. The taste of Pinot Noir is often just too light for me. This Pinot Noir is light in colour, nose, and taste. But it is still very good. I tried this wine slightly chilled and again at room temperature and recommend that you chill this wine first. (Just a slight chilling of the wine really bumped the fruit flavours). This wine has a light strawberry red colour, not nearly as light as a Rose wine but a lot lighter than the that of the big reds. Not a lot going on in the nose, mild hint of strawberry. Like some other local Pinot Noir wines this one has a light taste too. Mild strawberry and rasberry notes. The finish has a good length making it an excellent sipping or cocktail wine. This is a very good Pinot Noir.
