Deep purple glass with violet rim. Medium nose obscured by high alcohol 15.5% with blackberry, blueberry, tobacco, smoke, cola, vanilla and mint. On palate, well balanced tobacco, black pepper, chocolate and smoke. Young medium tannins leads to a long finish of dark chocolate, coffee and mint/pepper. At $24.99 not cheap but fair, Better in 2 years? High alcohol may downgrade experience for some. — 11 years ago

New world Pinot as it should be. Intensely flavored with fresh, ripe fruit rather than oak. Sharp acid and medium body, with a long finish of that same fruit. Thanks @Derek Haas — 11 years ago

Dark ruby in color. Candied cherry, cola and baking spice all gracefully dance across palate. A long, spicy finish with a slight hint of pepper is the grand finale. Nicely done. The best part? I picked it up for $25. — 10 years ago
