The wine looks light purple colored. The legs are light. There is very little sediment in the bottle. It smells like plumbs, black currant (cassis), blackberry, and some rich tobacco and it followed in taste. The wine finishes medium but has a full tongue follow through. Great, big pinot!

This is a great pinot. It steps outside the normal bounds of a RRV pinot. Although the terroir is present, the wine exhibits a little oak that seems foreign but pleasurable. Fruits are elegant and cascading throughout the body. Clearly the wine is a little backward for the first thirty to forty minutes but rounds out fully at an hour as a pop and pour.
