Not a big fan of this style. Very big RRV Pinot. Still dark and a bit unfiltered looking. Strong dried fruit and a bit of savory on the nose. Large mouthfeel and a long finish, but pretty damn meaty to be honest. At this point, more like Rhone than Pinot. This screams for a ribeye to knock off some of the general largeness.

Cherries, licorice, blueberries, and spice in the nose. Cherries, licorice, and some earthiness in the flavor. Still vibrant with nice balance and a long finish. Drinking well now and should easily go a few more years, but why wait?

Very dark, almost Cab-like in color. Fruit forward nose with some savory elements. Very big Pinot, definitely New World style. A bit too fruity and uninteresting for me.

Meaty, bold Pinot; unlike a typical Pinot. Rosemary and herbs. Forward raspberry, with slight leather finish.
