Some smoke to the nose. Palate is still hanging on. Rather angular. Still some fruit, but appears midlife without fat. Starts showing more fruit with air. Has a dried raspberry fruit leather vibe.

Disappointing given the winery cred. Light raspberry and red cherry aromas. Similar flavor profile with some cola and tequila (!) thrown in for good measure. Strong acid which you would think would heighten the fruit flavors but does not. Desperate, I set off on a food pairing hunt but, alas, could not find anything that matched with it. Thankfully, not over-extracted which bumps it up a point in my book. Fruit appears to be on the decline. Way overpriced at 40 bones. Drink up; just not for a special occasion.

Loved this wine, very impressed. Tons of really good fruit but not too much of the overpowering heat that some Flowers Pinot's can have. The past few years have treated this one very well.

Mellow, smooth, and fruity pinot. Nice spice notes on the finish.
