Attractive earthy complexity mingles with woodsy oak spice (no vanilla) atop the ripe red fruit. The 14+% abv sticks out awkwardly, particularly on the finish.

Aromas and flavors of black cherry m, currant, cocoa, baking spices and toast. Beautifully balanced. Long and silky finish. Rich!

Ruby color, not much of an odor or distinctive notes.. Very balanced pinot, good body with a slight pinch of fruit at the end that is uplifting with minimal if any aftertaste. Side note: I actually got this 2013 vintage from a local liquor store on closeout. This place is mostly a scotch forward store near foxborough, ma. They need room and put wines on clearance. I think I walked away paying 15 for this bottle...drinks like 30 bucks. Cheers
