Deep dark Ruby with ripe black fruit aromas and intricate spices. Complex palate with big flavors of cherry, blackberry and raspberry fruit with cola, cinnamon and mocha notes in fine soft tannic structure. Well balanced with savory edge on a great mouthfeel finish ending with earthy mineral character.

Expressive nose of strawberry jam and dark cherry. Chocolate flavor on the palette signals toasted oak with a finish of cinnamon candy. Rich and high-toned

Pinot week. This is weird. Upon opening the bottle it was light- almost weak and watery. Hours later- sniffing and sampling- it’s powerful. Lingering mouthfeel. Never have i preferred Pinot but this week may be a turning point.

My favorite Fulcrum Pinot. Well rounded and deeper fruit notes than expected from a Pinot.

Great finish! Nice berry taste and smooth. I don't taste the chocolate that others have but I do taste almost a cherry sort of flavor! Very good nonetheless

Great fruit and mouthfeel. Great recommendation from my local wine store. A bit overpriced but enjoyable. Will try again for sure

Very good wine, but less depth and intensity than previous vintages.
