Blackberries, spices, cedar on the nose, not at all like a Pinot, would guess zin or Syrah. Alcohol is still pronounced, dark blue fruit, alcohol and oak still primary. Raisins, spices and somewhat of a cool climate Syrah profile or zin. Interesting wine. When this was released would not have guessed it would age like this, not a fan as this is really an odd wine that definitely pushes the boundaries of Pinot. Had half a glass and dumped the rest, too bad because the other single vineyard bottlings from this vintage were pretty good.

New Years Eve would not have been the same without this great tasting red to go along with filet mignon.
