Just a little too much oak on this wine for me. The medium intensity nose also shows perfume, ripe strawberry, cinnamon and a lot of dark roast coffee. The palate has pleasant red fruited edge almost like pomegranate juice, but is marred on the finish with a little too much new oak tannin. This is on the brink of being interesting, but is held back by a few winemaking decisions.

Eye - Red color with a orange pinkish rim Nose - Raspberry, Strawberry with a woodsy mushroom and herbal sense Palate - Cherry and light strawberry with a mushroom character. Has a medium finish but is a little hot (14.7%)
Great pinot hopefully with some time it should soften a bit. Will add a couple more of these and try again in another year or 2.
