Similar notes to earlier tastings, this wine is big and brash. Opened for 90 minutes no decant. I get the maraschino 🍒 for sure along with abundant candied red berries. Watch out for the 15.1 ABV. Snuck up on me tonight 😳!

Serving temperature is very important with this big boy as it turns out. Needs to be right around cellar temp.

Very happy to have restocked for the holidays. "Like drinking a fruit roll up" according to our friends

One of the few pinots that can probably hold its own after a big boy cab. Like liquid cotton candy
