Very dark purple opaque color. Thick syrupy legs. Lovely syrah with some nice dark red fruit, even if a little hot. Whoops - just looked at the label. This isn't a Syrah, the bottle says Pinot Noir. This is a nice wine, but it's hard to detect even a hint of Pinot fruit. It's possible it's just being overpowered by whatever it's blended with (I assume Syrah, but it could be Malbec).

Agree with many previous tasting notes. Very concentrated dark fruit can be a little overpowering, but paired with a rich meat, this is nice. On first opening, this was a little effervescent, but that blew off and this turned out to be a nice wine.

Very closed and hot upon opening. After a few hours got really jammy and fruity after the heat had blown off. Delicious cab.
