Definitely an odd smokey/burnt fruit aroma on the nose at first. This somewhat blew off and gave more of a red berry aroma. But the mouthfeel was richer than expected, with soft tanins, red raspberries/craisins, and a nice finished that was somewhat long. Hint of an herbal/earth flavor as well. Nice wine. 85 points.

Delightful, rich berry flavor with rounded tanins. The wine was wonderful with a pasta and shrimp meal.

Odd flavor. Flowery and not a standard pinot. Perhaps a bad bottle.
