Probably over the hill, thin and light red fruit with a little perfume on the nose, definitely a little "feminine". Fruit is even less available on the palate, which becomes dominated by sour at mid palate to finish. A little hot and acidic as well, really lacks balance.

Big rich CA pinot. Dark fruits on palate with almost a mocha flavor as well as some asian spice. What it might lack in elegance it makes up for in sheer flavor.

This had a little volatile acidity, but more than enough jammy fruit to balance it out. A tad to funky for me, but some might enjoy the funk.

Opened to make tuscan beef stew. Spicy, rich, full bodied and just earthy enough to to offset the sweet dark fruits.
