Medium Ruby with aromas of red fruit, with floral and earthy spice notes. On the palate flavors of raspberry and plum, with cedar and earthy notes. Ok balance, lively acidity, fine rustic tannins ending with earthy mineral. Drink now, no aging benefit.

Red berry fruit aromas with oak and spice notes. On the palate cherry and tart raspberry with notes of pepper with a slight toasty oak mouthfeel. Fine tannins, good balance medium length, great to drink now no aging potential.

Nose of smokey California heat on red currant and red delicious apple skin with sandalwood and vanilla spice. Cherry plum big mouthfeel with spiced red fruit finish. Solid pinot.

A little too acidic for me. Leaves a very long aftertaste. Not as smooth as I would like.
