Plentiful aromas of red berry fruit, violets and peat moss. Abundant red and black cherry/raspberry and cranberry fruit on the palate with additional notes of black licorice, baking spices and tobacco. Pleasant hint of oak on the medium-plus earthy and tangy finish. Medium body and tannins. Good balance of acidity, fruit and alcohol. Reminds me more of a Merlot than a Pinot Noir. Thanks for the glass, Chris B!

A heavier Pinot, really good and can stand alone.

Overly sweet taste on first drink, but slowly grew on me. Would drink again, but would not go out and buy another bottle

On the nose wasn’t for me and may have skewed my overall taste. Taste wise it improved but not for me.

Very nice Pinot noir. Well balanced acidity, notes of cherries, currants, cranberries, with vanilla and nutmeg. Very smooth finish. One of my favorites.
