A nose of dark fruit and spice, dark garnet in color. A medium to full bodied red blend, with black cherry, currants, coffee, Asian spice on finish, still a big wine. www.winelx.com

Dark fruited and smooth - not much backbone or complexity. Very pleasant to drink but nothing special.

I'm typing this note a few weeks after drinking The Pixie 2011 and did not record any detailed notes. Liked it quite a bit though.

Fantastic bouquet that you want to dive into. Needs about 30 mins to begin to open. Its a little funky on first impression almost like it came from the rocks AVA and not Red Mountain. I get some tar, leather, pepper, plums. The finish is long with nice acidity. Tannins are now smooth and well integrated. Its hot at 15%ABV so keeping it cool is a must or the alcohol takes over. 2011 seems even more crazy since we have now had 5 years straight of record warmth and GDD since then. This wine truly captures the tough year that it was to grow fruit.

There are hints of dark chocolate and coffee on the nose. I also get some smokiness from this wine. There are hints of savory herbs (think maybe some mint). Personally, I find this wine quite heavy. It gives a warm feeling while drinking it. This I have found is a characteristic of Gorman Winery wines. In terms of fruits, there are definitely some darker fruits (maybe stewed here) such as dark cherries and maybe some figs. Overall, this is a well-made wine. Just not my cup of tea.

Early days for this; comments reflect this. Leave some time to drink, or decant early

Dark in glass with smoke and tarry fruit on nose. A little rough on front of tongue but coming to a smooth finish. A lot of pepper and tannins only noticeable at finish on back of tongue. Drastic improvement with airing
