This wine has a dark hue and displays plenty of raspberry, cranberry and black cherry flavors, with a big earthy note and moderate spice - clove and nutmeg. Red plums, cherries and raspberries adorn the palate, with a nice, tart edge and a well-defined tannic structure joined by a mouth-watering acidity. It comes on bold at 14.1% abv - not something I look for in Pinot - but it settles down quickly and finishes elegantly, with fruit lingering quite a while.

High alcohol level Pinot noir. Dark ruby color with plum and bing cherry flavors. Good tannin placement with balanced acidity and a round body. Overblown for food pairing but it’s good by itself.

Dark fruit, earthy notes, subtle spice -- more complex than the average California Pinot at this price point.
