Strawberry and dark cherry. Smooth and velvety in the mouth.

Dark red in color with tangy nose. Dark cherry and strawberry with smokey middle and moderate acid finish. Still drinking young, so I'm guessing it can age some more.

I have been a Paraiso SLH Pinot fan for years, and this 2010 does not disappoint. This is a typical tangy SLH Pinot with tart fruit forward, smokey in the middle, and nice acid finish.

A little heavier Pinot than most, but outstanding, fruit forward wine.

Decent. Not as voluptuous of a Pinot as expected.
