Less plush and more structured and meaty than a typical Oregon pinot, this definitely shows its Sonoma roots. Good upon opening and even better with 30 minutes open. Floral, medium+ bodied, with tannic structure that is soft. Would go well with many foods, straddling typical pinot matches and even some foods that would normally go with Rhone wines. Good QPR.
Drank over 1 night; I had half of the bottle. Vvv

The wine looks crimson colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like black pepper, violet and blackberry. It tastes like blackberry. Tannins are evident. The body is light/medium. The wine has narrow texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity.

This is a pretty hearty Pinot. Give it a little time to open. Darker than usual, with a great mouth feel. Not too sweet or overly fruity. This will be a regular staple for us.
