A nice spicy and fruity aroma with notes of peppers, dark fruits and fresh fruits on the palate. Very drinkable and I can image with some aeration the wine is more approachable. If I tasted this blind I would not have guessed this was a Pinot Noir, but I'm no expert. Yet!

Smell is kinda pungent and rubbery. Taste is pretty similar and a bit unappealing overall.

A dark fruity flavor followed by a gentle finish. This is not a "typical" Pinto Noir in that there are floral notes on the tongue which give a different feel and experience than one expects. Not unpleasant, but different. Drank with sirloin and veggies.
