  Wonderful. Still decent fruit with good depth and complexity.

  PnP. Cherry cola bomb to start. About 15 minutes I got some encouragement that it was firming up and could get better with air, but I was wrong. The fruit punch mid plate just got heavier and heavier with sweet fruit... enough to make me suspect that there's a few grams of RS. RRV syndrome with no energy... and I showed enough forethought to treat it as a cocktail wine. Most food would be even less flattering. But it was enjoyable enough about 30 minutes in if you like the style. I actually prefer this sweet style to big alcohol and oak, but let's be honest... it's still trying to impress for impact and points. I'm sure it's all the rage in Cougar Town. At least Helen Turley isn't allowed there.

  Wow, this was pretty awful Don't think it was corked; very harsh and tannic, so unlike the many Davis Family Pinots we have had.
