Happy coincidence to have the 08 and 10 separately on the same day. So different. 08 has more weight, fruit is riper, darker. The 10 is lighter, more red fruited, spice box driven. Wines are both great, 08 has a longer life ahead of it probably.

Black cherries, black currants, raspberries, and a hint of spice. Very tasty.

Absolutely wonderful! Complex, supple. Nose is an interesting combination of cranberry and plum/prune, but the palate surprises with a mix of tart fruit and subtle spice, even a little hint of white pepper. Excellent acid balance. All-around, a total winner!

May 30th, 2016Two words: light and tart. A very pleasant Pinot noir, bright in tart cherry both on the nose and palate, light in alcohol, just a hint of earth. I can see true believers loving this one but it's just a little light for us.
