Lightly "bricked" hue with aromas of bread yeast with strawberry fruit.
Palate--Decent acidity and a front palate with steely strawberry, and a rear finish with light raspberry. Finish lingers a bit with an aftertaste of band-aids...
Unusual to have a Pinot showing the "brick" hue of aging at only four years of age. It is a bit awkward. I bought it marked down from $19 to $8. It is not good even at $8. The taste of "band-aids" is classic of a contaminant called brettanomyces. It is the scourge of any winery as it means something in the process is contaminated. Avoid this particular Pinot!
