Paso Robles pinot. 14.9% alc. Big, dark, hot and pruny. Tasted more like a zin.

Blast from the past. I don't see Paso Pinot becoming a thing anytime soon.

Still quite young, but good flavors and potential. Currently lacks complexity and is more primary in its palate presentation, but still quite tasty. A bit rough around the edges. Needs time.

One of the best Pinots I've had in a while. Not judge a book by its cover.
