An effervescence of acidity when it first hits your tongue. Some berry fruit opens up and then finishes with some earth and leather. Fruit starts to fade after an hour or so.

Pop and pour reveals a reticent nose of dark cherry, some forest floor. After 10 minutes in the glass the nose opens to reveal cola, cherry, some cinnamon. Just lovely on the palate with cola, brown sugar, cherry and a hit of acidity dances along. Finished with candied cherry and fine tannins. Showing really, really nicely tonight. A beauty for sure. Wish I had more!

We agree with Tanzer on this. Not particularly noticable nose. But big flavor. Really not to much Pinot there at all. Black cherry for sure. Tasted almost like a barbera with the acidity and black fruit. Very enjoyable and, as a result of the acidity, seemingly very fresh.
