Dark ruby. Vanilla, black cherry, and heat (15.2% ABV) on the nose. Full-bodied palate gives fake oak vanilla and black cherry (backed by 15.2% ABV) with medium minus acidity and nearly no tannins. Okay, so this is a Pinot for the Orin Swift fans — dark fruit, low acidity, no tannins, and way too much (15.2% ABV) heat — that’s definitely not a dinner wine. If that’s your style, you should enjoy this. If you’re more a fan of PN from, say, Burgundy, Willamette, Russian River, Santa Maria, Santa Lucia, Central Otago, Tasmania, or any place known for more conventional PN, you might want to look elsewhere. Drink now.
