Medium Ruby with brown, garnet rim, lilacs & cherries on the nose. Dry, cedar, red currants, tart fruit, medium body. Nice balance of acid, fruit and dry tannins. Drinking well now. Getting some blackberries, leather and dirt on night two, this is good stuff.

A bit of forest floor/barnyard on the nose, which I like in a Pinot, but fresh fruit on the palette with good acidity and tannins. Oak is just right, finish long. Love being able to drink these pure clones.
Moss and mushrooms dominate the aroma. Soft tannins and nice complexity arise on the palate with notes of caramel, oak, and figs. Overall the aroma isn't all that appealing, but the flavors are fantastic.
