Medium ruby to garnet, clear. Smells like smoke, mushroom, cedar, light funk, red fruits, leather, bit of dried orange, fennel, and other spices. Light body, medium (+) acid, medium finish, and flavors of high toned red fruits, lemon, orange, dill, and minerals. You know, not bad for an inexpensive California pinot. Worked well with our vegetarian stuffed sweet potatoes tonight.

At first there was a slight medicine flavor that was not very welcome. Even after letting the bottle sit open overnight, that flavor never rally leaves. It has rich magenta color. Cherry marmalade fruit on the nose and palate. Definitely thick rich and concentrated. Quite a bit of white pepper. Very metallic. not my favorite style.

Delicious. Refreshing. Almost old world. Tart black cherry, a little raspberry, strawberry, milk chocolate, cola, licorice clove and allspice. Some funky barnyard and mushrooms. Medium body and soft round tannins balanced well with mouthwatering acidity. Long lingering finish Great value. A happy-making wine. Use a big glass...
