  Decanted 2+ hours. Dark, opaque garnet. Aroma of dark cherries, rose petals, some green stem, and a touch of oak. Tastes of concentrated fresh black cherry juice with a touch of green stem and vanillin. Has good acidity balanced by lightly grippy tannins and moderate clove-like spice in the finish. It's tasty but not complex and is rather dark fruit forward. It could almost pass as a pretty good CA Zinfandel.

  Red cherry and raspberry fruit with earth and spice on the finish. Good acidity, long finish.

  Dense and rich. Drinkable, but not enjoyable (or very recognizable) as pinot noir. Perhaps other vintages will show better?

  Popped and poured then consumed over 4 hours. Great mouth feel, interesting fruit with allspice evident, but I could never get passed the sweetness. Over time, the wine continued to develop body and palate impression, but the residual sugar kept raising its hand crying "look at me".
