Overripe fruit has become a bit stewed, fruit cake, vanilla, underbrush, gummy bears, med-tannins and nice acid. Mouth filling .

Decant for sediment and pour. A distinguished dark crimson color. On the nose: muted notes of sour cherry, touch of stewed meat, raspberry, rich soil, crushed rocks, and slight vanilla. Taste: Nice!...an elegant, smooth, soft, beautiful mouthfeel wine with sour cherry, spice, smoke, minerals, herbs, and a strawberry cedar medium finish. Bravo! It's got a few more years left in it.

Delicious. Cola, black currants, plums, boysenberries, raspberries, black cherries, and a bit of spice. Deep purple color, well-structured, and a lovely musty bouquet.

Fruit forward; hints of orange zest and licorice around the edges. Well made Pinot.
