Nose of sweet fruit, plum, spice and sandlewood. Soft and silky, fruit is a touch bright initially but then integrates into the wood and spice. Med bodied with bright mouth watering acidity & spice. Good effort though the limited selection is significantly better. Excellent for the price point.

Interesting, I tried this earlier this year, March or so. If I were to write a note, it would be almost exactly what I said then. Popped and poured with salmon, a bit sour out of the bottle, but that softened quickly. Lots of cherries as it took on air. Not substantially better after 6 months, but still pretty good.

On the pop 'n pour, this was easy drinking and "gulpable", with strong fruit, spice, and good acidity. Then, after an hour or so of being open, lots of woody oak and oak tannins started rearing their ugly head and I could hardly choke down a glass. Weird experience with this.

Cherry and plum. Light spices. Light tannins. Above average, par-for-the-course SRH Pinot. Good QPR at K&L for $20.
