Disappointing. Medicinal hit / bitter dark fruit. After a glass getting used to it it is drinkable.

At Mark’s Labor Day party. A reserved earthy dark fruited Pinot that did not cry out loud New World.

Translucent reddish purple in color. Somewhat muted nose of cherry and raspberry with hints of earth. Light on the palate with cherry, berries, and nice acidity. Balanced and restrained in style with little oak influence, this cool climate offering from the Petaluma Gap comes in at just over 13% alcohol.

Not feeling it. Got a strange medicinal taste which is overwhelming the Pinot awesomeness.

Candy apple. Tutti frutti. May integrate into something more balanced. Does have a spice note to build on and a ton of fruit.
