Dec 26th, 2018Medium garnet edges with a bit of ruby in the core. Interesting nose with elements that of red cherries, black currants, twigs and purple flowers. Balanced acidity (5.5/10) and tannins (5/10). Needed some time to open up nicely. Notes of cherries, raspberries and spices on the palate. Light plus to medium bodied with a medium to medium plus finish. Drink till 2019.

Oct 12th, 2017An inviting and easy to like (& drink!) Sonoma Pinot Noir with a nose of raspberry, plum with subtle aromas of vanilla & clove. Well balanced pallate with bright acidity throughout and round soft tannins while adding notes of cranberry & dried mushroom. Excellent QPR and a stellar pairing with steak truffle penne pasta!

1 person found it helpfulSep 17th, 2021Had this about a year ago, founded by 3 friends Noah Dorrance, Baron Ziegler, & Steve Graf who shared a lifelong dream of owning their own winery. First vintage of Pinot Noir, produced in 2009 was sold out in 3 months. Deep color with red berry fruit aromas & notes of sweet floral scents. On the palate ripe red plum, currant & cherry flavors with complex spice. Smooth tannins good balance with acidity, medium+ ending with a mineral character. Drink now, starting to lose its freshness.
