Cherry cola and plum flavors up front, shifting to a nice oakiness, with pretty acidic finish. (Pop and pour perhaps to blame for the latter.) Ruby red color starting to get brickish on the edge. Nice, but not spectacular. After reading the other reviews, perhaps left this on in the cellar too long.

Displays the classic RRV cherry-cola flavor, but there is so much more going on: a healthy dose of Chinese five spice, tobacco and wild berries. Really well-rounded and in a great drinking window now.

Sort of between Burgundian and Russian river. Some plum and cola notes, but there is an austere side to this wine. Very elegant and adaptable in terms of food vs typical RRV pinot

Good. Darker fruit flavor than I remember from most Nunes.
