Candied red fruit and cola but a little higher alc than I like on my pinots- acid is in balance.

Nose is dominated by barrel toast and a hint of cherries. The wine slips down nicely. No rough edges and the weight is perfect. Finishes rich and sweet with cinnamon and redcurrants. A good wine, but the price is not justified based on my experience.

I'm sipping the rinconada not Durrell. The rinconada is better because it's from a better region. Booyah.
