Caliginous pinot, purple with brownish hues. Beautiful and symmetrical long-lasting legs. Nose has cherry, vanilla, caramel, slight strawberry, baked sugar cookie. Early on I picked up a cosmetic aroma, like lipstick...not bad, just very different.
Palate is fruit forward, new world Pinot. Blueberry dominant, pure palate, juicy berries. Good acidity, tartness, moderate tannins. 14.5% alcohol hidden extremely well. Palate lacks complexity but is very pleasing and interesting, invoking memories (of Fun Dip and Dante Cabernet?).
Paired with a shiitake beef stroganoff, and the pinot married well with the creamy texture and earthy mushroom flavors. Wine retained strength of fruit and acid.

Beautiful Crimson color with good spicy backbone and dark fruit. This is aways a nice QPR for SRH Pinot noir if you don't mind the fruit forward style. A crowd pleaser.

Nice, light Pinot. Drank with scallops and fish at Brigantine.
