Just pure driven fruit, slight coca cola smell, cherrys, and even darker cherries. Earth, mineral, baking spices, great long finish...Always liked this producer...

Funky nose. Pungent moldy, mint. The taste was just Pure pinot. Well balanced. Fruit still forward, but with mellow edge.

More Zinfandel like than Pinot. Deep dark purple, rich, tart blackberry. Whatever it is I like it but it didn't pair well with our Pork Tenderloin.

Lil sis said it smelled like Dr. Pepper- and totally. Supported by strongly floral hibiscus and hearty musk notes. Asian/Chai spice on the palate w/ red cherry skin, a milk chocolate silkiness and a nice play of sweet, bitter and floral notes. Long finish with cayenne spice. Beauty.

Dark plum, cherry [cola], spice, hint of mint, milk chocolate finish. Big but elegant. Very distinct mineralogy on the finish.
