Per the producer this is made from multiple Dijon clones of Pinot.
It pours a robust purple ruby which is quite opaque for PN.
Nose offers fleshy bramble berries and noticeable cola/wood spicy elements.
Palate is arrow straight new world PN, with flavors echoing the nose, ripe black fruits, cola, baking spice. A bit too rich and over the top for me, I would prefer this picked earlier with more acid.
