Red berry fruit forward...little baking spice...still young but opened up well during dinner. Age a couple years first.. love these winemakers Ross & Katie.

Pale ruby color. Aromas of raspberry... can’t unsmell the bubble gum wrapper @John Howard ! And rose stems. Fantastic flavors, loads of red fruit and a gorgeous finish.

Had this a few years ago... let’s see how it’s aged. Pale Ruby color. Aromas of apricot, raspberry and all-spice. Smooth red fruit flavors with a subtle clay earthy finish. Getcha’ Pull!

Medium bodied, crushed cherries, allspice and raspberry. What an amazing, complex Pinot! Claypool Cellars Sucks!

Quite a unique grenache, moudeverde, syrah blend. Light blackcurrant notes on the nose and scents of vanilla can be detected. The wine has aquired a nice round palet, flavors of blaccurrant, oak and vanilla yet it has detaind some structural acidity and light tanins are still present. Overall all a very well balanced wine!

Les Claypool is in the wine game now, and it's awesome. Single vineyard Sonoma Pinot with lush fruit and subtle earth, barnyard notes. Soft but complex. Better than Pork Soda.
