Tbis blended Willamette Valley Pinot is from Sineann. Deep reddish purple in color. The nose is plum, and plum smacks you in the face on entry. At first, tannins on the back revealed little, but after airing for several hours some cherry flavors became more pronounced, and clove and vanilla came out on the finish, which had a spicy kick to it. Some would call it a "Syrah Pinot," with some justification, but it was a juicy, approachable drink -- again, after having given it time to air. I'm not running out to buy a bunch, but it hit the spot as a stand-alone wine while watching tourney action on TV. Alc. 13.4%. Paid $24 for it locally. FWIW, comes with a screw cap. Also FWIW, WE gave it an 88.
