Ruby with berry fruit, citrus and floral spice. On the palate flavors of strawberry and cherry, tangy, with cola and cedar notes adding some earthy tones. Bright acidity, soft fine tannins, medium+ finish ending with dried fruit, mineral and cedar spice.

Fine but lacks any depth or interest.

A minor pleasant surprise, with earthy notes, and a black cherry sweetness that doesn't show medicinal or candied. Weighty and mouth-filling, but without grip, some acid.

Good wine from a wonderful winery. This pinot has been a steady enjoyment since we started wine tasting over two years ago.
Not much on the nose but silky with not a lot of tanins on the back end.

Slightly smoky red and dark cherry fruit. More mouthfeel than the typical #carnerospinotnoir

Delicious with tonight's Italian fare of stuffed shells and prosciutto bread - hi kerwin - would have been an excellent paring with the cuisine had last week in Puerto Rico
