Popped and tasted over 2 hours before I gave up. Shimmering dark ruby color, 60% saturated, light and clear legs. Very reserved nose of sage brush, currant, some azalea. Light body, thin and watery, low acidity, and no tannins to speak of. Somewhat vapid until a rush of alcohol carries some actual Pinot typicity into the hot finish. So little flavor, it contradicts the dark appearance. Not flawed, just lacking a lot in terms of intensity and fruit character. 4+7+12+5 = 78

Tasting room visit. Aromas of smoky earth with fig and cherry fruit. Silky rich and forward palate with delicate floral notes and spicy depth on the finish.

Very low acid and rich body. Strong soy sauce character along with some earth. Tasted during a pinot event. Interesting wine but not my style.

This was served too warm at the winery. It's made in a somewhat reserved style, it tastes fine but is somewhat flabby. 86-87.
