Squarely in the California Pinot camp. The name implies a power that not everyone is looking for in a Pinot and the taste lives up to the name. Fairly dense but still with (Cali) Pinot flavor profile. Cherry, a little cola and smoke. Definitely drinkable but not quite a "wow" wine and probably not for Pinot purists, especially those with Oregon or Burgundy preferences.

Not the usual tasting. Enjoyed for an hour or two on the boat, then finished it off at the campfire with S’mores. Paired remarkably well. Initially needed time to open up, then it was smooth and the balance and flavor really came out. Took about 30 minutes in glass to open up. No decanter on hand. Quite surprised that it had such a nice flavor. Would drink again.
