  A little muted, some classic notes inside but you need to tease them out because it struggles a bit

  Mid-palate is long and exhilarating.

  Before I even taste it - wow, the color is very dark compared to most Pinot Noir. The taste of the fruit is also dark. Cherry, cranberry, spice. Great RRV fruit.nose. Really nice finish. I'm very glad I purchased this.

  To quote the old SNL bit: we like-a-da-pepper! Previous CT reviews nail this with the pepper references. We were big fans of the pepper notes in the Zinfandels from the 80s and 90s which, sadly, seems to have fallen out of favor among Zin producers. So when we find it nowadays, no matter the kind of wine, we love it.
  If a pepper note in wine is not your thing, this is not for you.
  Additionally, this has great red fruit and nice complexity.
  No aeration necessary. Traditional Pinot bowls.
