Smells of blueberry scone

Light to medium with dried cranberry, cherry pie, eucalyptus sprig, more dried fruits - fig, watermelon.
A great mouthfeel with just a little.bitter vying for attention over the citrus acidity,
Classic twig and branch overture
Fantastic.

Black cherry, underbrush, cola, baking spice. Finesse. Med- bodied. Acid does a lot of work.

Light and lively red fruits. Good roundness.

Love this wine, opens on the nose like baby powder typical Willamette Valley Pinot perfume pop, and settles down immediately into a vanilla BlackBerry. Young, for sure, but totally drinkable now, tastes good with all sorts of things, strongly recommend it for day-to-day deliciousness. Turns into magic with Kalamata olives baked into a Greek chicken. Good with or without food.
