Tasting Notes:The Reed Vineyard Pinot Noir is heavily perfumed with cola, cedar, black pepper, wet stone and herbal spice. It possesses a fascinating compilation of flavors; boysenberry, smoked bacon, pine, mineral, chili pepper and accented with tarry, deep spice and sweet earth. While still tightly wound, the texture is smooth, but asks for a bit of breathing to flesh out for near term enjoyment.
