  Sour cherry cough syrup notes at first. Got better over time, becoming smoother and with a ssilkier mouthfeel, albeit with an acidity at the lower end. It finally smelled and tasted like a RRV Pinot one hour in. Paired quite nicely with salmon marinated in a sweet soy base.13.8% ABV.
  87-88

  Has softened. Drink now. Sour cherry is now predominant. Best 30 minutes after opening.

  Solid RRV pinot but nothing great. Very dark for a pinot. Lots of cherry up front with mild spice on the finish. Very little acidity.

  Notes of cherry-rhubarb pie. The juice is very thin, but enjoyable. Boysenberries on the finish. I would but this again for the price, good value. Not the best Pinot out of Russian River Valley, to be sure...just an above-average wine for anytime drinking.
