Demuth vineyard also farmed by Kosta Browne Winery, yields less than one ton per acre. Ruby with tangy red fruit aromas and oak spice notes. On the palate a rich full flavor of blackberry and dark cherry with exotic spice, earthy oak and firm tight tannins, took 45 minutes to open. Lively acidity gives the wine good balance and carries through the finish with an earthy mineral character ending with notes of cacao.

This is very good, but probably my least favorite of their pinots. While there is plenty of fruit, this was more earthy and dusty to me than their other designates. But please know this is still very delicious and quite balanced, I just like the more fruit forward styles.

Immediate cranberry on nose...leading into bright cherry, red apple peel, hibiscus, a bit of mushroom, pine needle and brought back to bright red fruits and shadows of spice still lingering. Definitely new world with great respect for gentle handling and place. Lovely.

At a good drinking window, just a touch burnished still with good acidity and a Mendo base. Beautiful.

A little angularity in the tannin, finish a little clipped, but very nice aromatics and very fresh. Some nice texture but a bit disjointed.
