Nice richer Burgundian style. A bit sweet on the nose, nice balance and acid.

Very drinkable, a tiny bit sweet but still nice.

We had the 2019 Vintage on 4/17-18/22. Excellent PN. Tastes of black cherry, clove, and oak. Wonderful bouquet. Full bodied and well balanced.

Boekenoogen one of my favorites tasting rooms in Carmel Valley. Filled with dark cherry and raspberry. Hit of chocolate. Medium acid, medium + body, with a long layered finish.

Wow this was pretty good.

Intense, lifted varietal aromas of strawberry, dark red cherry, with hints of black raspberry, lavender, and ripe olive. The intensity and lift of the fruit is framed around notes of ripe plum, pepper, and very subtle, caramel and vanillin character from well seasoned French Oak, finishing with finely etched tannins.

Full strawberry on the nose with a mild zip of acidity up front.
