Dark fruits with some spice and a softer finish. Recommend Opening up 20-30 minutes before drinking. Drinks nicely after some time to breathe.

This tasted like it had gone bad... It must have been left on the rack too long

Not your typical Pinot. Dark auburn purple tinged with brown on the edges. Bing cherry nose with some nutmeg lingering. Chewy mouthfeel. With a nice long finish—some structured tannins at the end.
