Slight mushrooms funk with earth on the nose with masked fruit. Similar palate with more fruit.

Medium violet. Aromas of plum, dark berries, lavender, and black pepper. Fruity and approachable. Light bodied with good acidity and fine grained tannins. Made from fully destemmed fruit aged in neutral barrel. 12.6% ABV.

Plum skin, tart cherry, earthy, very complex. Racking a couple to see how they continue to evolve

One of the most beautiful (in appearance, as well as palate) Pinot Noir I have had from California in quite a while. I should have included a picture of the color in the glass because it was mesmerizing - the clarity and perfect autumn hue of Burgundy. The aromatics were delicate but defined - damp earth tones, raspberry, clove, and sandalwood. Perfect tension between fruit and acidity with velvet texture. This wine is made with traditional wine making techniques, natural yeasts, and stem inclusion, bottled at 12.5 ABV.

Some sour cherry and strawberry but lacking acid, depth and much of a finish. Okay, but expected more for the price.
