The nose initially had an interesting restrained spiciness, which evolved slowly in the glass to be dominated by a fruit-tinged (strawberry?) earthiness. I was expecting a similarly restrained palate, and was very surprised when it burst forth with a pure and bright red fruitiness, supported by solid cherry notes on the periphery. Very unique, at least relative to the CA Pinots that I have tasted, and very enjoyable!
