Pretty deep-garnet color, aromas were off, and showed significant Brett on nose and palate. Too bad, as the underlying fruit showed through. Benefit of the doubt goes to winery.

A bit darker, partially opaque red color than normal for a pinot noir. Bouquet displays distinct cassis, blueberry and hints of smoke. The palate is medium-bodied, with dominant fruit flavors of strawberry and raspberry, along some caramel. Acidity is a touch low, and slightly green tannins lurk subtly on the backend. Overally, a smooth, fruity wine drinking in a modern style. A bit unclear how well it will age, but probably better to consume sooner than later.

Bright ruby, fairly muted nose, dense, leather, smoky spice, medium acid, tightly wound. Aging potential
