Cherry and bright red fruit, surprising tannins and oaky vanilla notes, short finish. Not my favorite from this region but ok for weekday drinking

This is probably pinot noir (there is a cooked cherry component), but doesn't really have anything going for it. Glad it was a corp gift....

This is a very great wine to share with a nice fire, some ski socks, long johns and a movie. I chose to watch "Taken 3" while I drank it. Great flick. Anyhoo, my good friend, Ali from Pakistan gave me several bottles as a wedding gift (he's a tech wizard from the Bay Area who does Crossfit). I am hoping he visits me soon so I can enjoy it with another human being. All in all, a very fine wine!
