Leather and pepper with black cherry on the nose. Cranberry sweet Tart velvet with slight bitterness pineapple on the finish. Yum. Acid just perfect. Drink now.

This is not a dainty pinot. Big and bold style herbal and earthy on the nose and plenty of spice and dark fruits on the palate. I keep thinking about how well this would pair with grilled steaks. Anyway...not much tannin here but I think there is 2-3 more years left in it. Drinking well now.

Tannins are unfortunately absent along with any sweet fruit needed to balance out the sour cherries. The nose is full of leather and black cherries.
I think we missed the best part of this wine.
