Dark red, bright Bing cherries and cedar on the nose. Good flavor of fruit.

Berries and slate. Lighter on the tannins. Easy drinking, but nothing special.

I never waste wine, not even if I don't like it.....but this is absolutely the worse wine I ever tasted!!! So glad I dumped this winery and no longer a member. I actually had to pour this out!!! If a negative number was available, I would definitely select it!!! Of all the wineries in the region, this winery DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO MAKE A GOOD PINOT NOIR!!!!!!!

Slightly herbal at first ( which was surprising for a Pinot) but after a bit of time rounds out as smooth. Not overly fruity. But not complex. Short finish yet enjoyable. Thumbs up.
