Fresh, light, laser-like acidity, and a generous finish. Thank you Eric!

Ali Story, of Smith-Story Wines, was in town and did a nice tasting at Classic today. A pleasure to meet and very unique and enjoyable wines.

This is an elegant style Pinot...lots of brambly notes, kirsch, and cedar bark. All red and black fruits here. Ali said that the barrels this pinot is done in comes from Russell Bevan. Quite the opposite style!

Baby, but showing so much potential. Pretty fruit. Savory; blood and iron minerality.

Bright nose and high toned perfumes of rose petal and cranberry-cherry spice. Delicate on the palate with a very persistent finish. Pure class and very Delish! #TheForceIsStrong

Very easy to drink. Goes well with crackers and cheese. Probably too light for a full meat-based meal.
