Nose is "Oregon" with fruit and barnyard. I was expecting "fruit bomb", but was rewarded with a more complex Pinot. It got even better over time, so I'd suggest decanting.

Dark red. Nose had some red fruit (cherry) and just a tiny bit of a spicy/cedary component. Good mouthfeel and a nice, albeit medium-short, finish. Drink now or over the next few years. 90+ pts.

Opened and tasted immediately, but formal notes taken after a 2 hour decant.
Medium ruby color in the glass. Explosive nose of red fruit (cranberry perhaps? not cherry) and pepper fragrance filled the room on opening. On the palate, very smooth with more red fruit, pepper, and perhaps some red licorice. Vibrant acidity and very lengthy finish.

Served as part of a tasting at the Wine Club in SF. Bottle was opened approximately 1 hour. Light violet / purple colored; a light and fruity wine with a little heat. The finish was OK, but seemed somewhat short. Would go well with food.
