Sadness...my last bottle of this fabulous vintage. But, wow, was it good. Earthy aromas and cherry, pomegranate flavors with some complimentary tannins on the long finish.

Whoa! This was amazingly good and gets better with age. Not your typical RRV Pinot. Very Burgundian style—complex yet delicate.

Great mushroom earthy funk. Bright cola and cherry flavors. Favorite of the evening.

Nice Pinot. Really went well with the baked ham and Mac and cheese.

Bright cherry framed by dried rose petals on the nose. Red fruit on the palate, along with baking spice/cinnamon, cedar, and ginger. Very balanced acidity/tannins, plush mouthfeel and holiday-esque. But maybe it's the season talking.
