Berry pie filling, black berry, raspberry, cherry, blue berry, plum, bramble berry, slight green must, cedar, smells higher in alcohol than 14.5%. This wine was great after I had a Manhattan.

Another excellent Lynmar Pinot Noir. Rich dark fruit, elegant and smooth. Similar to Gevrey-Chambertin but with a California accent including a lot of oak. Nice $55 purchase.

Always good but this was different. Sweeter in the finish. Interesting and unexpected.
