100 percent Pinot Noir. 70% neutral oak, 30% new. New doesn't influence palate too drastically. Big sweet cherry fruit up front, almost like cherry Gatorade or Hawaiian Punch. Finishes with this tremendous burnt hair or burnt wood quality. Like charred maple wood. Very unique, one of the rare times that greater hang time on grapes benefited the wine. Would buy again for sure.

Jul 7th, 2017Wanted to like this but it just never produced. Med dk ruby colored some cherry cola on nose but not effusive - lighter style w/unbalanced acidity on palate. Lacked cohesion & stuffing, no density of flavors.
