  14.5% alc...exhuisite nose, right out of the bottle, deep and rich, some wood, but mainly extraordinarily ripe fruit...medium-bodied, smoky and just juicily rich and delicious fruit. Those who prefer CC Pinot from Cali are more likely to like this than Burgheads. Fun. Delicious.
  **** out of *****. Not meant for longevity IMO.

  Purple/ruby in color. Big cherry fruit. Super smooth. Decent finish. A nice little bit to this nice. Totally dry, but the fruit is almost candied. A nice hedonistic pinot noir, and hard to beat the price.

  Brilliant black cherry color. Aromas of black raspberries, dried herbs, and cherries. On the palate, bright cherries, nice balancing acidity, and finishes with cranberry flavors with soft tannins. Somewhat simple, yet very enjoyable and approachable. Could use another year in bottle, but definitely drinkable now.
