Dark red. Fresh, pungent and spicy, with scents of cola, fresh herbs and underbrush, plus a hint of celery seed. Very fresh on the palate, with bright dark and red berry flavors, chewy texture and good balance. The dark fruit flavors and musky, herbal tones play nicely against each other, leaving a sweet, smoky impression on the finish. A grown-up style of Oregon pinot.
