A little more bold than I expected. Darker maroon color. You get more graph And leather out of this than cola and cherry

Darker contrast then most pinots from Russian river but initial smell was bursting with flavor. Cherries and darker fruit on initial taste. 2012 was excellent year for pinots

Sweet red cherry, caramel, spice box, cooked raspberry leather, raw meat/iron minerality, medium soft tannins, at 14.5 this comes in big and sadly, hot. Pinot in drag...fun, but a bit much.
