Considerably better in Pinot Noir terms than the La Vallee tasted a couple days earlier at same restaurant. Nice to find interesting PN’s on resty lists, but as usual too much with the crowd-pleasing PN instead of the real stuff. I *get* it that you have to sell wine, but put some lean ones on the list for us geeks instead of all the candy.
