Whoa, dark, dark fruit. Brooding and strong with some heat that blew off after decanted for hour+. Had I tasted this blind, I would have guessed a warm climate Syrah, not a cool climate Pinot. Give this one a few more years and it should be fantastic if perhaps atypical for RRV Pinot. Should peak 2016-2018, maybe. Glad i have 5 more bottles to sample along the way.
