A reasonably complex wine with flavors of blueberry pie, pomegranate, black pepper, and red hot pepper. This wine was a bit hot--not a big surprise at 14.6% alcohol. This is definitely a "big" Cali Pinot.

very good wine, takes a while to open up though. I had to decant it for 7 to 8 hours for it to get to the right taste. So far have consumed 2 bottles and have 1 left so i will write a note when i drink the last one.

Slightly hot nose with cool maple syrup aromas along with leather, dark fruit, pepper, and black cherry. The palate is also kind of hot with raspberry, cherry, and more dark fruit. Good PN velvet and acid characteristics, but still has the big california thing going on.

Minimal finish. Hot nose without much interesting going on.

The wine was a little weak, with a medium strong earthy/viney aftertaste.
