Definitely not a 'pop and pour'. Decanted for 2 hours and could have used more time. Dark fruit and spicy. Long finish. Fuller bodied than most pinots. 89

Cinnamon and cola on nose and palate (a little light on the nose); bright acidity further punctuate the cola; pleasant quaff, but not a match for more substantial fare. 50/5/10/15/6

Initial nose of Dark Cherries and a lot of heat. After letting it breath for quite a bet, the nose was more of a spicy strawberry twizzler, but cloyingly. On the palate, bright fruit (strawberries and cherries) upfront transitioning to chocolate with a spicy cola finish. As a pop and pour, it is very hot and disappointing, but give it some time to breath and it will impress.

nice balance, nose was a fruit bomb. Distinct cherry scent. Smooth. Last bottl of our case. This wine will be missed
