  Bright red cherries and plum with a hint of oak. Aromas of lavender and roses. Pleasing at first but lost its way after being open for a bit.

  2/18/2015 - mhauser Does not like this wine:

  This tastes like alcoholic cola. Purple in color, clear. Sweet, smoky nose. Moderate acidity and medium tannin. Very sweet, lots of smoky oak, greenness, bitter. Long finish. Did not like.

  This wine was nice and fruity with a decent finish. I enjoyed with filet mignon and tri tip from Banderas in CDM.

  nose: showing off more dark tones with notes of dark red fruits, cherries, raspberries and some cherry cola
  
  taste: medium bodied with medium acidity. A nice feel, but lacking some depth along with tones of raspberries, cherries, and cola
  
  overall: a solid, if unspectacular pinot. Balanced with a more dark take to the tones, but with a tart and forward quality as well

  Nose: From first take this wine holds onto it's youth with a tight nose but soon enough opens up slowly to show off layers of complexity including red cherry, raspberry, anise and black-fruit tea on the tip. This wine was just aching to show more in the glass if time had permitted.
  Palate: Nice fig and melange of spice.
  Finish: Warmth certainly from it's youth and 14.3% alcohol, will blow off with age.
  Notes: Fruit for this wine comes from Sun Chase and Gap's Crown Vineyards on the Sonoma Coast. Still young as discussed above but will be very interesting with 8 months to 2 years of age, will expect the time to result in all the makings of a lovely Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir. BM
