Effervescent red wine — a year ago
A truly splendid Carneros Pinot. Inky purple with a wide brim. Fruity on the nose with spicy cherries and blueberry pie. Umami and oak aromas abound. Plenty of earth, even a little funk. A bit of cinnamon and more floral accents after time and air.
Light and airy but filled to the brim with personality and drama. The oak is well integrated and the structure and balance terrific. Easy drinking yes, but far more complex and downright interesting than that. Sophisticated on the tongue with delectable fruit and earth. Minerality and vanilla with a nice dollop of warm spice at the end. This is Pinot done right. — a month ago
Stainless steel fermented and aged for four months in neutral oak. Citrus lime more almond skins slightly oxidative (much more so than Ryme Hers). Savory and green herbs on the palate. Elevated acidity, medium finishes on the minerality. Sandstone soils. — a year ago

High-acid, un-oaked Italian varietal from Russian River… 12.6 ABV. No noticeable hint of smoke taint. Medium weight…touch of bitter green stemminess to balance the creamy white fruit of apricot or peach. Perhaps not such a great vintage, but palatable enough as a table wine. — 2 years ago

Almost opaque… light brick red with a touch of browning. Cherry, violet, hint of ripe orange. Served slightly chilled with grilled pork loin with teriyaki fresh peach glaze. Very light, but packing some serious tannic weight. Definitely needs food to hold its weight and balance. Fun, but simple. — a month ago
