Ruby red, lightly to moderately extracted pigment. Raspberry, cranberry and funk aromas. Cherry, raspberry and, later, cranberry and strawberry flavors, slightly tart on initial pour. Moderate skin astringency. Tannins soften after 30 minutes.

Cherry, raspberry, cranberry, rhubarb, strawberry and oak. Good structure and soft tannins.

Oct 29th, 2018Purchased at tasting room. Inky, moderately extracted, purple in color. Mint, vanilla, briar and cherry Kool-Aid notes in nose. Blueberry, raspberry and later cranberry flavors, moderate seed bitterness, light skin astringency on front of tongue. Tight style, and definitely needs time to open; cola, strawberry, black tea and green olive flavors emerge a day after opening. You could age this one a while as the tannin structure is present. Worth watching this promising young operation as their estate vineyard comes into production

File this under Pinots I Didn’t Hate. Smooth and velvety, this ruby knockout goes down easy. We paired it with some real pedestrian food - rice one night, burgers another, but the juxtaposition of this silky, refined number against the simple, brutish flavors was outstanding. She’s a keeper this one.

Very light, strawberry, not very complex. Easy drinking Pinot with or without food.
