Restaurant by the glass. I was distracted by the herbal, earthy, dark fruited aroma which didn't smell like pinot. It was balanced in the mouth with good structure, light tannin and in need of bottle time to knit together. Overall, interesting, taste first.

It appears dark but doesn't have much aroma heralding any taste. It enters plush and full and at times has a rich full linger but at other times appears weak and tepid. Just fair.

Notes from day 2. Dark red in color. Nose of strawberry, red cherry, little spice. Palate of hint of red cherry, little strawberry, dirt, with a mulled spice component on the tail end with a little bitterness. The finish was average in length, but I am not sure if I would consider it pleasant. Drink, as this was much better on day 1. 50+5+10+13+5

Drinking really nicely, especially after opening a little overnight in a partial bottle with Ar/N gas.

I can't disagree with the prvious comments. Not much fruit in this wine, somewhat bland. Not worth the effort
