Better than my last bottle. Decanted around 1pm and tasted from 5-8pm. Fragrant nose of raspberry and spice with a little florals. Palate is more cherry. Great acidity. Long finish. Nice!

First bottle from a case acquired on release. I am a big fan of Sinskey wines, they always have a unique character. This wine is distinctly Cali/Carneros Pinot. It seems more heavily oak influenced than I expected. It is a translucent medium to dark ruby color. Nose jumps out vanilla and oak leaves influence. Acidity is modest but there is a tartness to the fruit. Mostly tart cherry but to some extent covered up by the oak influence. Finish has a cedar element and isn’t all that long. It seems to need a good bit of air before the fruit begins to come out more decisively and with a more ripe cherry note. Solid wine in a modern style but not that remarkable.
