Medium dark garnet color. Nice aromatics of spice driven cherry cola and red berries show on the nose. The palate exhibits firm strawberry and cranberry flavors with hints of black tea which are pleasing but simple. Decent acidity and a slight bit of apparent tannin.

Cherry cola and a dusty graphite. Little specific character (as I expected of this blend). Enjoyable, but unremarkable, new world Pinot. Certainly worse than most of the Pali single vineyards, though a good QPR.

Solid pinot, especially for the price. Dominated by wood at first, but opened up nicely after about an hour. Lots of cherry cola flavors - definitely new world wine.
