Sipping Fine Wine Delectable Pro

Deep Ruby (darker than most OR Pinot’s) with aromas of blue and red fruits with an array of spices and wet stone notes. On the palate youthful flavors of cherry and fresh strawberry, licorice, smoke and tea notes with elegant spice. Fine tannins, long ending with fruit and tangy spice and mineral notes. Great now, has some short term aging potential but might lose the vibrant character. Tasted twice!

Light ruby hue. Aromas of cherry, earth, pepper, and raspberry. Medium-minus body and tannins, and medium-plus acidity. Palate adds more red fruit with a medium-length finish. Very solid Pinot. Soft edges.

Cherry, tarragon, clay earthy smell, ruby magenta, lots of cherry and jam and syrupiness on flavor, very pungent with an uneven finish that’s punchy and bitter

Surprisingly solid. Cherry with chocolate and cinnamon flavors. Medium-bodied, a bit syrupy on the finish. Great value at $20.

Color of clear bubbly ruby. Nose is pleasing, with quality Pinot Noir notes, like wet mushroom, cocoa, fresh berries, and a bit of savory spice. Taste is quite sweet and juicy acidity with spicy chocolate vanilla, very distinctive cocoa note, while fruits and spice take the 2nd seat. Aftertaste is some more cranberry and zest. Overall quite dense considering she is a Pinot yet refreshing. Had a 2nd bottle a few months later, and the comments stand.
