#LovePotion color has a hint of rose gold ~ blossoms, orchard fruit and cherries ~ creamy but w lime and salinity, and subtle lingering finish of cherry fruit, pit & skin ~ fun stuff!

Med - concentration with a salmon hue. A young nose with med - intensity and complexity showing faint underripe raspberry, green herbs, and rosé. Med + acid and some texture and notes of lees. Balanced with short length. #abberantcellars #philtrum #oregon #pinotnoir #blanc #ctbucklinwine

Fun white, fuller texture and weight, with hints of red fruit coming through. "Like a still Blancs de Noir" says the winemaker.

Crisp, balanced, quaffable. A perfect summer wine.

Fun. Sweaty peaches and compressed pineapple on the nose. Great acidity. Nice minerality. Nice texture. Pinot character comes out with some hints of red medicinal cherry fruit on the palate. Kind of sexy.

Really liked this one. Floral and a touch of earthiness, maybe some rose petal, strawberries, light citrus and melon

2015. Dynamite! Not for aromatic seekers but the palate amply rewards!
