Uncorking- Nose- Mint and Tea Tree, Caramel and vanilla in the back end, some oak, red fruits Taste- less rye than the nose let on but it's there mid-palate. Dark fruits, cherry, mint, some dry tobacco, vanilla, baking spice, almost earthy. Very dry mouthfeel. Finish- there's the Pinot, dry tannic red wine finish, some barrel, bright fruits, vanilla, some spice, almost floral. Overall it's quite good. The nose, taste and finish are really separate tastings. Strong rye smell but the rye is mild on the taste, the fruits and spices come through instead but the finish is very Pinot Noir with barrel tannins and drying of the mouth leaving your with that dark berry and cherry, oak lingering on. Be great choice to pair with a steak.
