Like all the D-G PInot's, this one is a wonderful, intense expression of PInot fruit that coats the taste buds with ripe berry fruit, dried rose petals, and smoky spices. Bursting with life, it needs a year or two to smooth out fully, but it's delicious even now. If a wine novice wants to know what Pinot Noir ought to smell and taste like, this would be a great wine to put in front of them. - HK 2012-09-27
