Black cherry, black currant, red plum, rose petals, autumn spices and black pepper on top of a hefty body, with a smooth mid-long black fruit finish. If you like bold Pinots, or are looking for a great pairing to go with your flat-iron steak, this is your kind of wine. Tannic now, this will need some time in the bottle, so lay it down until 2009, but I think this will peak around 2011-2012.
