Color is kind of a tawny-gold ruby, maybe 40% saturated and borderline rose'. Doesn't really look like PN that I know. Nose gives me a big smack of oak, bitter maple, and cherry concentrate. The bouquet intensity faded quickly with air and by the second hour, was very stingy/almost gone. Medium bodied but pretty light on flavor, depth, and dimension. Lifeless acidity, very low, if any tannin, short and hot finish. Not offensive, not down-the-drain-bad, and if it had a Burgundy label, would score a dozen points higher and cost 2-3 times as much ;) 3+7+10+4 = 74

Not much of a Pinot. Little varietal character, not unpleasant. Drink now. OK with BBQ.
