Ruby color with lighter rim. Nose: fresh and dried black cherry, pomegranate, and apple butter with accents of orange peel, sandalwood, rose petal, pink peppercorn, and dried maple leaf. Medium body on the palate: black/red cherry, black/red plum, bright pomegranate, and blood orange framed by baking spices, rose tea, pink peppercorn, and a light touch of cream & strawberry candy. Medium+ acidity. Lighter tannins. Lingering cream & strawberry candy, pink peppercorn, orange peel, and plum/cherry skin on the moderate/long finish. Notable for it's straightforward, fruit-driven deliciousness. Drink over the next 1-3 years.

Medium garnet in the glass. Nose of orange, cherry, leather, and green pepper. Supple palate of dried fruits, a hint of chocolate, and a nice finish. We made a mistake in pairing it with baked salmon coated with mustard, honey, and nuts. Would be much better with red meat, BBQ, or pasta. But ... we would definitely do this one again!

This was a nice bottle of pinot noir from one of my favorite growing areas. Medium body with nice fruit.
