Warming with a peppery finish, not to heavy, and an organic scent. My girlfriend kinda hated this one @Thomas Bauer

Earthy and restrained cherry, orange peel and baking spice. In the mouth it has lovely balance and restraint. Light on its feet with terrific youthful verve. A wine that will love and respect almost any food at table and even the morning after. A wine for my Food and Wine Pairing Class.

Bright cherries, tart to start. Spice carries it through well. Woody finish.

Spirited Pinot with the earthiness of a new bag of dirt from Home Depot and pronounced cherry but lacking any maturity or depth. Lovely body and smellable roots but just a so so Pinot noir for me, as a Pinot noir lover.
