Earth, red fruit, rose petals, earth, tobacco, forest floor. Needs the right food. Bitter on the palate.

Medium nose with cherries, red currant and a hint of sweet tobacco. Medium to fullbodied, concentrated, aromatic with potent tannins, long finnish

Working man's Pinot Noir, needed some time in glass but gained nice weight. Spice, leather and stemmy. 1-dimensional but a nice one.

Had to open one of the Thanksgiving bottles early. Raspberry, nutmeg & spice are just some of the silky layers. Subtle mineral texture. Good value here!

Strawberry, truffle, mushroom, rasberry are all good. The wine comes across tart and dried out. Which is a horrible combination possible due to being over oaked.
