Opened a 2012 HL Cab. Dark purplish color. Cherry floral and cassis on the nose with some hints of cinnamon and cedar. Blackberry/cherry spice taste initially and a chocolate pencil lead finish. A lush mouth full with lots of body. Medium to long finish. A nice tasteful wine to have on a lovely spring evening on our porch at home. Goes quite nice with cheese and bread (aged Gouda and a mild white cheddar). — 6 years ago
Ruby in color with medium intensity and a wide reddish rim.
Fruity nose of raspberries, strawberries, sweet cherries, light oak, chocolates and light spices.
Medium bodied with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with cherries, raspberries, light wood, earth, bitter herbs, light vegetables, spices, tobacco leaf, dark coffee and black pepper.
Nice spicy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is an enjoyable Pinot Noir from Sonoma Coast.
Easy drinking and good for parties. Showing mild complexity with a nice smooth mouthfeel.
Spicy and entertaining. A good porch wine, too. Would be interesting to try it again in 3 years.
Shows light barnyard on the nose, that gets lighter after an hour of airtime. After 2 hours of airtime, it drinks more like a Beaujolais. Interesting stuff.
Good by itself or with food. Paired wonderfully with a fresh brick oven pizza with prosciutto, parmesan and arugula.
Aged in French oak barrels.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
89 points.

The perfect rose. Finally after trying bottle after bottle this delivered. Slightly bubbly. Great for porch drinking. Goes super well with charcuterie board. — 4 years ago

This red blend from Columbia Valley is easy drinking and tasty.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with mild complexity.
Showing black fruits with earth, wood, spices, chocolates, light vegetables, licorice, light vanilla, tobacco and black pepper.
A good everyday wine to sip on by the porch. Tangy and spicy.
Good right out of the bottle and better with airtime.
Good by itself or with food. I paired it with cheeses and crackers.
