Winery Review:  This Pinot Noir expresses tantalizing flavors of ripe cherry and wild raspberry, and finishes with brown, vanilla spices and a smooth finish.

My review:  It was clear from the start that this was a Pinot Noir due to the light color.  The wine smelled like old leaves, smoke and dirt.  It is autumn.  Earthy tastes dominated this wine.  It was full bodied.  I enjoyed this wine but it was not my favorite.  This was not a wine that was designed to be consumed without food.


I tasted this wine on its own without food.
