Perfumed rose petals and cherry. Strawberry, cherry, and spiced rum cake on the palate. Rich toasted oak, medium + tannins. Quite balanced acidity.

Pours hey Ruby in color. Dark for a Pinot. Aromas of cherry blueberry and a hint of smoke. Jammy aromas. Flavors include more jamminess and cherry and a bit of spice. Sweet oak light in tannins. Medium body and medium finish. Better as it opened up.

Good value. Impossibly dark, though Pinot fruit manages to poke through.

V12. Earthy and a slight smokey bouquet. Jammy, spicy, blackberry fruit. Mineral finish.

Dark fruit you're almost expecting to be too sweet but doesn't go there. Medium body/finish. Very very drinkable (though not surprising as a Pinot Noir)

Jammy California-style Pinot is silky smooth with a rich color.
