Silky smooth, bright, and fragrant. Very pure fruit. Worked with my steak frites and Liz’s crab cake.

Cherry, cranberry, smoke, rhubarb, raspberry, loamy earth and oak. Good structure and soft tannins.

Light ruby red. Beautiful color. Intense and rich nose from the pop-n-pour. Plum cherries, red berries, purple floral notes, some cinnamon and a touch of petrol. Great structure on the palate with moderate acidity (6.5/10). Medium to medium plus body with tons of red berries, light broken twigs and wet minerality. Medium plus finish. We believe this is their entry level Pinot. Excellent work. Drink till 2021

Nice cherry and chocolate on the nose, with complexity. Deep crimson color, but too much acid on the tongue that leaves a sting for aftertaste. The 2014 vintage was one of the best, but this bottle was disappointing.

Red fruits and Rhubarb. Acidity balances fruit, spice, and oak.

Good but not as full bodied as I would like out of a Pinot
