An interesting and , ‘bramble berry’ -LOADED nose that melts into the wood as it breathes. A luscious and delightful finish.

Light and bright Ruby, lightest CA Pinot, more of an OR color. Tons of fruit and floral aromas that meld well together. Strawberry and cherry on the palate with mild spice wrapped up in a vivid acidity package. Mild soft tannins, elegant style, medium body, lingering ending with a fruity mineral ending. Very nice! Tastes great, but a couple af years could benefit, but hard to resist if you see a bottle on the menu as I did.

Mint and smoke and blackberries on the nose, fresh and juicy attack with rich and slightly chewy ripe tannins. #pinotnoir #russianrivervalley #russianriver #oregonwines

A little more oak on the nose initially, followed by jammy strawberry, fresh rhubarb, boysenberry and very light cedar. Crisp acidity, lovely flavors, very light tannin and overall body.
