  I could see this being any other varietal other than PN maybe zin or Shiraz. Very dark color, tasting way to much oak, medicinal flavors, some funky plum on the finish. I can only assume this has been in a hot environment for a few months prior to my recent purchase. So I will not rate as I am sure the winemaking folks at KJ made this better than this bottle showed!

  Bright red cherry, subtle cranberry and baking spice. Rich mouthfeel with sweet vanilla coming in on the backend. Very smooth, slightly one dimensional, but enjoyable. Slight bitterness on the finish.

  Lots of oak notes on the nose, light strawberry and cherry notes. High acidity. There are better pinot's from the area, but this is a good baseline.
