The wine looks Garnet colored. It smells like Mushroom, Forest floor, and Clove. It tastes like Red Currant, Raisin, and Oak. The body is Medium. The wine finishes Long.

On the nose, we have some earth and black cherries mixed with a hint of subtle spices. Very smooth through the palate, the fruit blending well into the structure and not dominating the taste. The fruit is well-balanced with earth and oak. The wine is hot on the back end, and the hotness dominates as the taste lingers. Overall, a pretty good pinot, especially considering the year. Let it open up for an hour or so before you drink it.

The nose delivers cherries and cream layered over forest floor. The cherries deliver well on the palate with a hint of oak and cinnamon. The wine is wonderfully smooth, and citrus and minerality rise at the end along with gentle tannins. Very enjoyable.

A little raisin, aged very well. Went great with smoked brisket. Wish I had another.

Cherry vanilla with a little spice on the medium length finish.
