Without decanting, it's a nice wine on day 1 but much better on day 2. I didn't take detailed notes but I remember liking the funkiness of the nose and driving acidity on the palate. Would definitely buy again at the price paid.

Classic cherry nose with a good amount of funk. I see notes calling this a new world Pinot, but I think it is closer to Burg style. Not your basic syrup RRV. Medium weight, good driving acid. Tart cherry on the palate. This is a solid value anywhere under $25, but I believe I paid much less. Only downside is that it has a fairly short finish. The finish length did improve a bit with decanting though. If you like the funk, you will like this pinot. Wish I had more.

While some Pinots have a hint of sulfuric nose that blows off. this one had a persistent scent and taste that overwhelmed all others. Like inhaling a recently lit match.
