Medium Ruby with aromas of juicy red fruit, with floral and toasty earthy spices. On the palate flavors of cherry and raspberry, with cedar and earthy notes. Good balance, lively acidity, fine tannins ending with herbs and earthy mineral. Nice value!

A bit heavy handed with the oak, which hid the nice acidity and bright fruit. Easy drinking for what it is worth

Classic and elegant on the nose. Sour cherry and rhubarb, but hardly a fruit driven wine. The oak comes off as authentic and very well done. Good value.

Holler, autumn, you're making yourself heard with this ethere
al #SonomaCoast #PinotNoir, all rose and underbrush and dusty mineral. Plush tannin, velvet-really-velvet texture...like sitting in a plum velvet seat at an opera house. Music sold separate, alas.

Light but fruity - a lot of red fruit and some plums.
