14.0% abv, garnet color, clear, light bricking. Viscous and leggy in glass. Bright red fruits, sandalwood, sage, clove. Juicy and soft in mouth, medium weight, some acid and definitely some tannin left that dissolve slowly. Cherry, strawberry, mushroom, stinky cheese. If it lacks anything, it’s uniqueness, but a very solid Pinot. Give this one an hour of air and you’ll be rewarded. Perfect drinking window now.

This was delicious - probably still has upside but drinking really well now after just a few minutes of air time in the glass. Paired nicely with some great burgers. Combined it all made for a great casual dinner.

Disappointed with this bottle. Floral with a thick almost syrupy mid finish. Starts a little sweet and finishes hot with a slight alcohol burn. Had promise but didn't execute.
Not well balanced for the price. What I'd expect from a $15 pinot, not a $35 one.

Great nose with bright red cherry fruit dominating. Palate was lush and new world as expected. More red fruit, some spice and earth as well. Easy drinking.

Dark fruited but still balanced. Black tea and a bit bitter but it’s still holding on.
