Bright Ruby with aromas red berry fruits and spice. On the palate cherry and strawberry flavors with vanilla notes, oak and earthy spice. Gripping dusty tannins on a nedium finish ending a bit savory.

Didn’t love it. Very fruity. Too young to drink. Improved with food.

Opened for 30 minutes before drinking. If you prefer cabs etc and want to try a pinot, this is a good option. Full body. Red fruit, dill, cedar, and touches of vanilla. Slightly higher acidity than a typical California pinot but in a good way.

Better of the Pinots in Paso area. York Mountain cool air helps. Bigger Pinot and more structured than most.
