Cherry, currants, earth, licorice and vanilla. Ripe but still elegant. The %70 new oak is apparent on the finish. It may integrate with a little more time.

Light Ruby with aromas of red fruits and spice. On the palate cherry, raspberry and gentle earthy oak flavors come forth. Tannins are firm and rich, well balanced on a Medium+ finish.

Good but still a little young. Better on the second night, alcohol level rounded out. Certainly a russian river pinot.
