Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Grapes from 100% Pommard clones, Ruby with aromas of tangy red fruit aromas and oak spice notes. On the palate a rich full flavor of blackberry and dark cherry with exotic spice, earthy oak and firm chalky tannins. Lively acidity gives the wine good balance and carries through the finish with an earthy mineral character ending with notes of cacao. Very Nice!

A RR Pinot for sure but 7 yrs and magnum size helped harmonize this beauty. Was perfect with winter veges and lamb meatballs

Medium ruby color. Aromas of cherry, blackberry, earthy, spice and oak. 14.4 % alcohol… needs some time to open up. Bittersweet chocolate on the finish.

2017 vintage. Musty and dusty leather Bordeaux nose. Weird. Light-medium body with some meaty/gamey flavors and raspberry, rhubarb spritziness. Not your typical Pinot. Liked the zaniness but think it would play better with just a hint more body. Really interesting.

Earthy nose. Medium body, dry, smooth. Raspberries, black cherries, and plum. Has aged very well.

BIG Pinot, lots of body, acid, fruit. Really big pinot, my daughter asked if this a Cab? Don’t know if it will soften with more time, but great spice and earth tones!

This fell a little flat for me. Missing much of the expected ME nuances.
