Intense red color. Nose is somewhat muted, but strawberry comes through clearly. Pomegranate, red currant, cranberry and then moving to black liquorice on the palate. Beautifully balances tartness, red fruit and acidity. Has the fruitiness of a new world pinot, but lacks the bitter finish sometimes observed at this price point. Quite good.

Nose is earthy and slightly funky in a good way. Juicy with a little bit of heat. The mid palate is full and the finish is persistent. Overall has a leathery mouthfeel with flavors of red currant and cranberry. More of a "food pinot" than one to enjoy on its own.

This wine has a medium body and dark mushroom cherry aroma. The Tate of cherry follows with carefully integrated tannin, spice, and pepper. Very nice.
