This is a Pinot Noir from the folks who make Schrader. 14.5% abv. Ruby in color, darker at the core, mostly opaque and bright. The nose has plums, black cherries, and spice with a nice earthiness. Medium bodied. Firm tannins. On the palate, black cherries and plums with some spice. This is a huge Pinot with tons of fruit. Some may find that off putting while others may finally have found a Pinot they love. It drinks great on its own and will pair for food similar to a Napa Cab (i.e steak, etc.) Drink over the next ten years.
