The colour was medium deep ruby bright red. There was sharp dry Pinot fruit, which was clean and smooth. There was a smooth dry woody start, light fruity mid palette, and a moderate clean finish. This was a very good wine with well integrated flavours. I drunk this wine at dinner in the Fairmont Hotel restaurant, San Jose during a visit for a conference.

Note 1 I am not really a wine expert (just an enthusiastic amateur), so please don't take my recommendations as anything more than a rough guide to these wines. I can take no responsibility if you buy a lot, on my recommendation, and then regret it!

Note 2 You may not agree with my evaluation of these wines as a lot of this is quite subjective. I tend to put a lot of emphasis on complexity and intense characteristic flavours and bouquet, so if you disagree you might just have different priorities.
