Translucent garnet color with an expressive bouquet of cherries and Pinot funk. The nose is significantly more exciting than the palate where flat cherry fruit is obscured by a prominent bitter note, with some vanilla on the palate for good measure. The bitterness recedes a bit with some air and the finish is mercifully short. It tastes like a mass produced Pinot, but I’ve had worse.

Definitely light to medium-bodied. Almost no bouquet. Great classic Pinot cherry flavor, well-balanced by tannins. Not brilliant, but definitely a keeper. The legs are fast. There is no sediment in the bottle. The wine finishes short.

Tasted at the winery. These grapes sourced from the Russian River valley. Cherry red colour. Classic pinot nose. Dry, fruity palate. Young.
