Earth, wild strawberry, red cherry, baking spice and black pepper. M+ acid, m body and tannin. Velvety. Red fruit carries into the palate. M finish. Balanced.

Really love their new wines. This one is tasty already but can tell it will go years. To me it compares nicely with the Phelps Freestone PN. Nice tasting experience at the winery.

The first from our Sonoma trip. It has just enough spice for a PN.

Classic Russian river fruit profile. Very sensible winemaking.

The nose is bright with jammy red fruits. As it opens up, I get a dark candied cherry mixed with a dusting of soil. The pallet is light is well balanced with a slight acidity trailing on the finish.
