Slovenian “Village-Style/Quality” Blaufrankish. Dark ruby color with some purple highlights. Aromas of dark berry fruit and dried herbs. Blackberry, black currant and black cherry fruit fills the mouth along with hints of mineral, dark plum and those dried herbs. Long, lingering and lively finish. Soft tannins, fresh tasting and well structured. Thank you for the taste, Ron B! — 4 days ago

Bright straw color. Aromas of unripe peach, apple, white flowers and light oak. Palate is more citrus (lemon/lime) focused with hints of green melon baking spices. Light touch of oak on the mineral driven medium-plus finish. Medium bodied with vibrant acidity. Well balanced. Cross between a Chablis and a Pouilly Fusse. Quite good.

Fruit from multiple vineyard sites. Bright garnet color with ruby and purple highlights. Bountiful fruit forward aromas and flavors of raspberry, blueberry, blackberry, cranberry and kirsch with hints of dried herbs and black pepper. Plush and juicy with soft tannins, medium body and crisp acidity. Tangy and very “Beaujolais-like.” (Malolactic fermentation?) No sign of oak aging. Thanks for the tasting, Ron B! — 3 months ago

100% Pinot Noir. Bright garnet color with a ruby core. Aromas of ripe red cherry, strawberry and raspberry with hints of dried herbs and dusty earth. Juicy red fruit also fills the palate along with a touch of mushroom. Finish is quite savory. Acidity is high but the wine does not seem out of balance. Bone dry with a very long finish. Soft and silky tannins. This wine opens up nicely with some aeration. Thank you for the tasting, Ron B! — 3 months ago
