  Nose: Allow this to open a bit, kinda HOT right out of the bottle. Dark fruit like cherry, dark chocolate, and toast.
  
  Taste: Fruit forward tastes of cherry, raspberry, mocha, with a subtle oak finish. A pretty amazing Pinot Noir for the price. Surprising & Good! But be careful, this Dragon has a bite at 13.5% alcohol, you could loose a limb.

  A pleasant surprise. Very Pinot like character and flavor for about 6 bucks. Pretty dark color for a Pinot. Wet leather, cherry, charcoal and roses on the nose. Fruit forward cherry and blackberry with some oak influence. Balanced. Probably not 100% Pinot, but whatever they added is enhancing and welcome. Serious and solid all the way through the finish. Nice job.
