I am a sucker for this winery. Love it. A lighter version on the spendy well worth it pinots they offer.

Tight but good. Nose has resiny cherries, pine forest floor, and a little baking spice. Crisp and flavorful, not complex by any stretch, but nice with marinated charcoal grilled chicken.

Beautiful balance here. Fragrant zingy but sappy/resiny cherry fruit, gravelly earth, spice. Deeply flavored, woodsy earthiness and cherry ooze, and shot through with a gravelly minerality. Long, clingy finish and great acids throughout. Needs to be open about an hour to start strutting. At under $20, great value.

The 2015 vintage has a lovely liquorish-raspberry flavor and the finish lingers a long time. The big bouquet is the best part!
