I think this wine is wearing a clever disguise.
The nose, for instance, reminds me of an Oregon Pinot Noir - round aromas of plum and spice with a hint of strawberry - but the taste is far different. A full-bodied mouthful of smoke, oak, leather and slate eases into plum and blackberry flavors and finishes quicker than a horse race. An hour or two in the decanter mellows it out a bit. With some mild lingering tannins on the back end, I call it an enjoyable if unexpected wine.
