Smell of the strawberry and baked goods one expects from most Pinot. Flavor is earthy and tart. Kinda high alcohol for Pinot at 14.2%. Plenty of tannin. A strange unique wine. And a very strange Pinot. Light in color, hot and full of tannins. But tasty and true to the Pinot ethos.

Very light for a red I would normally love. Great for when you want something more hefty than a rose, but not as powerful as a Cab Sav.
