Holy Christ.

Gorgeously bright and juicy forest berry and herbs. For some reason showing a lot more oak tonight than usual.

2008 Cobb Joy Road.

Strawberries, red cherries, clove, red licorice, beautiful florality, pipe tobacco, mint, rooibos, sweet spices, hints of loam and turned earth on the nose. Vibrant acidity and bright red fruit. Beautiful mouthfeel with a light touch of tannin on the finish. Florality re-emerges in a beautiful finish. Very well made wine. This is a 2008 and I would honestly recommend a few more years of cellaring. Unabashedly pinot.

This is what California Pinot should taste like!!

Definitely among my favorite California Pinots these days. Lithe, juicy, and all sour cherry raspberry goodness with a side of citrus snap.

Shows better with time but dark in color and lots of smoke and cherry in the nose. Dark cherry and strawberry in the core with a strawberry/acidic finish. Always great.

Still opening. Riper than expected but still showing cool climate character. TBC...
