Popped and poured. Near the end of the night so I didn't care to take notes but from memory I can say that this wine appeared to have been made with over-ripened fruit. Up front, there are decent flavors of candied red fruits.........but they quickly take on an intense, almost zinfandel-like flavor profile that finishes with heat...........which really doesn't work for me. However, fans of this style may enjoy the ripe fruit flavors much more than I did. Just don't expect an elegant Pinot when opening this one!

Drank on a Mon. with ham, cheese and veggie omlets. Pretty damn good- I usually prefer Pinots from cooler climates, but this had nice red fruit and some floral aromas. Delicate on palate-not overly saturated. A little spice. Not really special, but nice, in a Monday kind of way.
