A potent example! Veers highly into soda (both cola and Dr Pepper) territory which I love. In the most elegant way.

Perfectly pleasant but unremarkable….not a fruit bomb, nicely restrained, but just a bit boring. Perfect as an aperitif but early overwhelmed by food

Medium ruby color. Aromas of cola, cherry, cranberry and a hint of eucalyptus. Silky, smooth Pinot- cherry flavors, spice and black tea finish.

First 100% estate grown vintage. Escolle will be recognized among the great Pinot sites in CA in time. This 2014 is going places.

Tart cranberry with smooth cherry and spice. Low tannins, medium alcohol, and high acid. A well balanced sipper.

Elegant and balanced with a little bit of extra fruit notes from the central coast. Incredibly satisfying
