Happy New Year! 🎉🎈🎊 🧨

Excellent vintage. I think even better for Pinot than Cabernet in some cases.

Drank with Christmas dinner, with honey baked ham, with brown sugar sweet potatoes. Too fruit forward for me. Overwhelms the other flavors a little. Might be too young. — 6 days ago

Improved over previous tasting 3 years ago.

Double decant and pour. A light cloudy gold color. On the nose: mellow notes of Lemon, tangerine, banana, nutmeg, grapefruit. Taste: A chalky-creamy, rich mouthfeel wine with pear, lemon rind, little stone fruit, white pepper, oak, and a tropical minerally wet stone medium plus finish. — 13 days ago

Dark cherry bingo.

If you haven’t had a 10-15 year in bottle WS, you have missed special.

Baking spices out the gate. Cinnamon. Sour cherry jam. Fresh rain soaked soil in the back. Maybe I should have decanted it but I’m getting a fair bit of heat. Granted after pregnancy and newfound mom life I’m very out of practice. Maybe some strawberry jam. On the palate we have a medium light body juicy, bright red fruit and spice at the end. Slightly sticky tannins. Nice way to celebrate the holidays. An affordable splurge to pair with a cheese board or a lean cut of beef like a fillet. Beef Wellington would be perfect. I festive pork roast would also go well. — 3 days ago
