It doesn’t get much better in my personal opportunity to drink Pinot of this caliber. Again Sean you are the Man. Great wine and I’m glad I could be a small part of helping it to bottle.

Ruby with berry fruit aromas and floral scents. On the palate cherry and raspberry flavors with earthy notes and floral spice. Good balance on lingering finish ending a little hot.

Weighty and structured pinot that offers darker fruits, forest-like earth tones, spice. Forward tannins and softer acid. Not the most compelling wine but great for casual drinking with friends.

Good wine but not your traditional Pinot; a little harsher then what I’d expect for a Pinot. Taste and smell vanilla, cherry with a hint of tobacco

Rich, dark fruit aromas. Smooth tastes of plum, blackberries and black cherries. Medium finish with a hint of spice. Excellent New World styled Pinot Noir.
