Beautiful, perfumed nose with juicy red berries and darker undertones. Some spice, light clay and cola. On the palate noticably heavier with a darker feeling. Good upfront fruit and a nice spiciness on the midpalate but gets a bit bitter and harsh towards the end.

Decent bottle for the 30 bucks I picked this up for, but that's about it. Fruit seems to have receded a bit leaving a noticeable oak tinge that held this back for me. Darker cherry palate maybe a tiny bit heavy, more acidity would have helped I think.

Pinot Noir trying to taste like Shiraz. Very heavy, not unpleasant at all but not what I look for from this type of wine. Dark, thick, peppery and a strong aroma of red grape skins.

Big, moderately spicy and juicy with dark fruits. Good length but a bit heavy and thick for a pinot.

6/4/2016 - galewskj Does not like this wine:
Friday evening "Bring what you want" (Kevin and Vicki's house): Goopy California pinot. Even my wife said it's heavy. I do not like this wine.
