This is classic pinot. Strong aromas of black cherry, earth, vanilla, oak, and a hint of cola and chocolate. The mouth is full of chewy cherries and sweet cola, that is soft and velvety, with mild tannins and hot acidity. The richness covers the entire mouth. The heat, along with the fruit, lingers on the long finish.
This is a big wine that could benefit from a few years of cellaring, though it is very drinkable now. The alcohol is a little high, so you might not want to drink it without food.
