Dark red color. Nose of dark fruits -- black cherry and blackberry -- with some bacony/smoked meat notes mixed in. Ripe fruit on the palate, with some cola notes, but this is not too dense in texture and retains a bit of that pinot silkiness as well as decent acidity. Decent length on the fruit finish. While not really my style, if you like riper CA pinot this is a pretty good deal at $20 direct from the winery.

Had a musty odor. Should have given that more time to decant, because it improved over time.
