• Shop review:
• "A rounded, mouthfilling wine.  At the beginning, it seems very soft, but then it is possible to discern rich tannins through the concentrated red fruits and black plums.  The acidity is there all the time, a fine counterpoint to the seductive, rich fruits and dry tannins."
• Note: The host of the wine tasting described this wine as an "entry-level Pinot Noir."
• My review:
• This wine was interesting because it had a strong leather aroma, which was a little off-putting.  However, I tasted raspberry and plum, which were very good.  It was definitely a rich, bold wine.
• I did not have this wine with food.
• Tasted at the Vintage Cellar wine tasting on 03/23/2013.
