Aug 27th, 2019Deep garnet color. Fragrant aromas and flavors of strawberries, cranberries, pomegranate, dark chocolate and black tea. Touch of earth and black pepper on the finish. Brimming with acidity. Tart and tangy. Light to medium bodied. Firm structure. Quite gritty but also elegant at the same time. Well made.

Jan 23rd, 2022Double decant and pour. A remarkable medium garnet color. On the nose: raspberry, floral, orange peel, spice, forest floor, sour vanilla cherry. Taste: A soft and elegant wine with raspberry-cherry, floral, some spice, smoked meat...leading to a vanilla mineral finish. Tannins mostly resolved...nice Cali cool climate pinot with only 13% alcohol.

Jul 4th, 2020More typical of Sonoma Pinot noir, light, red fruit, but very fresh and airy on the palate without being shallow.
