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 of this particular wine, on my recommendation, and then regret it!
Note 2: You may not fully 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 and varietal flavours and bouquet, so if you disagree you might just have different priorities.
