Transparent dark ruby. Black cherry and vanilla on the inviting nose. Lots of oak which overpowers the nose aromas on the medium palate. Light tannins. Moderate acidity. Bitter burned licorice aftertaste on the moderately long finish. Probably best with sweet creamy cheeses. Didn't work with anything I had tonight (salmon, roasted potatoes, Brussels sprouts) and can't really see it on its own. Drink now.

A gift I opened to tide me through watching the Oscars. Green leaf and briar notes in nose, with an undercurrent of raspberry and blackberry. Slightly peppery and tart initially, light tannins with decent berry (black, blue) and slight cherry and cranberry character. Spice flavor emerges later. Highly drinkable if not 100% on point varietally; then again, I drink mostly Oregon pinots these days, so what do I know about the range of Pinot styles from California today?

Good for the price. Warmer climate fruit and not terribly varietally correct, but tasty. Considering it is PN, very tasty.
