On the nose, it’s soft and delicate. Mid & dark red fruits of; strawberries, cranberries, blackberries, black cherries, pomegranate, limestone minerals, touch of rich dark earth with violets & fresh red florals. The body is leaner in style and elegant. Fruits of; strawberries, cherries, dark cherries & blackberries. Limestone, soft volcanic minerals, fresh red roses, red florals with violets for days, nice acidity, great balance and elegance, structure, tension and length that are well knitted together. The long finish is beautiful and delicious. Paired well with the Butternut Squash Gnocchi Cambozola Cream and Toasted Walnuts. Prepared by the Davis Estate Chef and featured in the middle left photo. It’s was delicious! Other photos; the Davis commercial kitchen, water fountain and Davis Estate House.

The nose is alluring with candied strawberry, bing cherry, raspberry, baking spice, dried mushroom and kiss of smoke. Medium body. The palate is fresh, vibrant and nicely textured. Round acidity and polished integrated tannins.

One of the better Napa Pinot I’ve tasted - the estate vineyard in Carneros is entirely in the Napa side. Still have a good 4-5 years ahead.

Cherry cola. Heavy oak. Med+ finish. Typical profile for this region. Nice for the price!
