Medium 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.

Perfectly good Pinot with brine-y, black olive beginning and dried dark cherry finish. Sounds odd but quite nice.

2014 Graham cracker, caramel, coffee and licorice (but only on the tongue). Clearly cooler climes without the tartness (sans-fruit) that usually accompanies. Little to no fruit but still good density on the tongue, great with tenderloin. Would rate higher when factoring the price point. Great buy

A pretty pretty thang! Bright, fresh red fruit--raspberries and cherries--with just enough touch of spice. Lovely.
