Remembering our great NapaValley and Sonoma wine trip. Pale almost transparent red. Low intensity smell. Longer than usual for a Pinot noir in mouth. Fresh, good acidity.

More of a dark cranberry color with a similar scent, as if you pick up the bitter and acid on the nose, along with a tart cherry. I'm getting some baking spices and raspberry on the palate with a fairly high acidity and long silky finish.
