Transparent ruby to garnet color. Aromas of dark red fruits, earthy funk, dried spice drawer, anise, fennel, and a touch of floral. Light to medium body, medium acid and finish, luscious texture that's really nice actually, and flavors of cherry, black cherry, lemon, orange peel, black tea, and spice. This is a lighter touch, understated wine with some complexity that I'm enjoying tonight both with our turkey London broil and standalone afterwards. Nice.

Oregon Pinot Noir Conversion; 1/17/2020-1/20/2020: On opening this seemed as if it were past its prime but improved with air. Pale/med garnet in color with a watery rim. Low intensity nose of chalky mineral and earth. Initially tart with a metallic off taste, but the off flavor disappeared with an hour of air and more fruit came through along with some green tea notes.
