Medium-light ruby hue. Beautiful bouquet of cherries (for days), with additional aromas and flavors of leather, orange zest, raspberry, tar, vanilla. Medium body with high acid: quite grippy tannins and still youthful. Not yet fully integrated - needs a few more years.

Light and aromatic - raspberries, black tea leaves, almonds and touch of cyanide? Good for 25$. From K & L.

Totally my style of Pinot. Medium bodied but loaded with flavors of red berries and cherries and herbs. Bought a half case and wish I bought more.
