Fun if you are drinking it for what it’s supposed to be and not the truest expression of Pinot. Had many that loved it bc of its bombastic nature.

Darker than usual Pinot. Smoky, rustic, even blood, violet, plum, leather and a little bit passion fruit on the nose. On the palate, it is highly extracted, plum, sour cherry, med-high tannin, good structure. Not a typical Pinot at all, even bolder than most California Pinot, I'm very impressed by this. ❤️ 15.1% alc. 2014 vintage

This is a monster (truck) pinot. 16.1% hooch. Tastes like spiced plum cake. It's pretty much unrecognizable as pinot but is still enjoyable. A bit of heat on the finish but not as much as you would expect.
