Coastal influence, diatomaceous soils. Briny salinity is noticeable on this one, coupled with bright fruit (black Cherry and cola). Traditionally styled PN. Delicious.

On a trip to CA I visited Fess Parker. Deep Ruby with aromas of sweet red fruits spices and oak. On the palate cherry and tart strawberry flavors with a touch of vanilla and pepper spice. Well balanced with nice acidity. Medium finish that was very pleasant. Tasting Sample.

Fresh and energetic. Give it some breathing time to shake off that false effervescence. 14.3% on the alc. but well balanced with pronounced fruit and acid. Blackberry, black cherry, and savory umami character. Entirely refreshing.

Surprisingly nice balance between restrained (but still new world) fruit and earth, forest floor and funk. Liked this more than I would have expected.
