NOSE: cola; tart ras-cherry; not bad, but nothing mind-blowing either.

BODY: color is garnet with slight burnt sienna throughout; color is of medium-light depth; medium bodied.

TASTE: pretty straightforward Pinot -- solid, but boring, too: the cola, tart red fruits, and touch of spice make this distinctively RRV, to me; 14.5% alc.; I don't get the impression this will improve with time, so I'd say drink now; I wouldn't pay more than $20 for this. Gut impression score: 84-85.
