One whiff and yeah that’s California. A sip confirmed it in spades. That’s a heavy pinot, with cola and black almost candied cherry. Sweet baking spice as well, with alcohol on the finish. Some producers manage to capture this style without seeming heavy-handed. This one didn’t.

Hardly any fruit in the nose at first, forest floor, almost fishy. Came into its own more on the second and third day. Medium body, medium acid, smooth. Raspberry front, a hollow middle like machine oil, and a stroke of apricot on the medium finish.

Better than the last bottle. Big berries, some earth, clearly California.

Underwhelming light slightly tangy lacks punch overall a bit disappointing.
