Rating this on night three. Night two was probably my favorite. Fruit faded a bit tonight but still excellent overall. Dark red fruit, maybe cherry. Structured nicely and just a little bit of tannin. Very long finish. Probably 60 minutes in the glass before drinking.

Fruit, smoke, crushed berry nose. Red berry, rasp koolaid mix, mushroom, dried leaves, and a heathy dose of oak. Good acid on this. The finish okay, there is a little metallic tinge mixed in with creamy fruit. Better on day 2

Smell- beef jerky, earth notes. Strong for a Pinot, not watery, ver balanced, very long finish. Delicious!
