  PnP but after sipping over 2h - a short decant would of been beneficial.
  
  Pomegranate, raspberry, vanilla, forest floor, whisper of oak. I want to say some spices but I don't know if I'm confusing the alcohol burn (14.5%) for spice.

  A new world Pinot noir with more richness than finesse. Not my style. Ripe red plum flavors with heavy cedar mouth. Acidity and a lot of cedar on the finish. The finish is long but not that pleasant. Very good with the right food pairing (think more of junk food or sweet ribs)

  I was worried that we were outside it’s prime drinking window. However, very enjoyable experience and a fine bottle of wine.

  I like this style of New World Pinot. Mature red fruit, cedar, spicy oak, green peppercorns, and a hint of toasty complexity drive the nose. Black raspberry and cranberry flavors are accentuated by a bright cut, smoky undertones, bottle age nuance, and a velvety mouthfeel. Lovely.

  Wonderful bouquet of classic south coast Pinot. Raspberries and earthy. Bouquet leads to smooth mouth with mature tannins and cedar. Just at prime. Drink now.
