Vayniac Ben's Review: This wine is very young but if you put it in the cellar for a good 5-8 years I think it will be a very solid Pinot Noir. I think the color is flat out fantastic. The price is very decent at 18 bones. The main thing is it needs to be cellerd, do not drink this wine now!!!.

Vayniac Ben's Review: On the nose i get a hint of apple, and dark fruit. The nose is just very poor though, not impressed. On the palate I get black liquorice, some dark chocolate, dark fruit, I also get some cherry. I think this is a very unbalanced wine. The acid/heat is way over powering. The tannins need alot of refinement. The price point of 20 bones is far to high for this wine and for 20 bones you can do better. Im going to give this wine 70 points and a major pass.
