This disappeared while I was cooking but I have a fleeting recollection of fragrant red fruit and herbs and nice balance.

If you like Oregon Pinot Noir and want to get a similar experience with a different grape and region, you must try this lovely well balanced wine.! It has a fruity noise; cranberry, light color cherry and raspberry. On the palate still getting cherry and darker berries. Finish is medium plus and has some peppery note shows after swallowed.

2014 Clos de Gilroy shows medium-dark purple in the glass, with beautiful aromas of cherry, strawberry and raspberry on the nose, augmented by an herbal note for which Grahm’s wines are known. Delightful red fruit on the palate joins some nice savory notes, earth and pepper notably. Light on its feet with a crisp acidity and fairly easy tannins, this is a great wine for sipping - it can even take a chill fairly well.

Fresh Rhubarb and bright red fruits. High toned and precise, laser like color and balance. A rarity to have so much pure varietal character and sense of place for a wine under $20.
