Neat. Sample. Just went through the Cab version and that didn’t impress me. I’m going to approach this Pinot with a fresh mind. I want this to stand alone as a view on this pour, but the first impression is much much stronger than the Cab already. Plums and grapes are just leaping from this. Maple syrup. The banana nut bread is there but less pronounced. Now getting cherry. Honey. Cinnamon and vanilla frosting. Graham crackers. Geez now getting apple. Just these great fruits from all angles. Mouth feel is weak. This was the most appointing aspect of the Cab too. It has a lot of good flavors though. Finish is a tad weak though. Starting from the top. It’s all vanilla and banana pudding on the tongue. Mid palate it darkens up into a banana nut bread. Getting some apple above that too. The finish brings in the plums and grapes but it’s dominated by the banana nut bread. Finish on the Cab was stronger despite everything else being better here. Overall, this is not something I will be buying after this sample. It’s too expensive for what it is.
