Even better than "The Fire." Intensely smokey, with blueberry and blackberry notes alongside spices and charred wood. These wines are delish.

Wonderful Pinot Noir ($29); perfect accompaniment to roast duck legs.

I adore the '12 vintage of this wine (however, in a blind tasting it showed like RRV PN, which is not a compliment), but this btl showed as, for lack of a more precise term, gloop. On the nose: sweet rose, orange, cranberry, black tea. On the palate: ok acidity, cranberry, black tea, disjointed acidity, orange peel...consistent with the nose, but not so compelling.

Tart cherries, green apple, pomegranate, and spice that overlays it all through the finish. Simple flavors but easy to drink.

Pretty good. Smooth, but not velvety. Can carry a big meal.

A big slug of red fruit and smoke, long, long aftertaste which is very satisfying,
