Hints of cola, brambles, raspberry, baking herbs. Very well structured. Fat body, lean tannin, soft acids, a touch of sweet fig. Long mouth coating finish. Sexy wine.

Tasted like every harsh thing I hate about California wines. Was it open to long and turned? Hard no. With Melissa at Wilde for a flight.

After a decant at bedtime I awoke to a nose of Sweet tea, fresh ground beef and black cherry preserve. A nice Pinot that you should definitely decant. #beefy

Nice and full with a medium long finish. Needs to be decanted for a around 30-60 minutes before drinking.
