Tons of pine and menthol showing up here which is also apparent on the white we tasted. Very very aromatic but I feel a bit of the fruit is hiding behind that menthol. Should probably age and is obviouslly a great wine.

Delicious Pinot Noir. The classic earthiness, but with noticeable plum and lingering sweetness that leaves a lasting impression. Had it with char and it matched superbly.

Old world style gem. Plums, river stone, and cherry pit on the nose. Tart cherry, strawberry, sliced mushroom, thyme, crushed rocks on the palate, carried by a beam of fresh acidity. A pleasant grip on the finish tells me this will age nicely. Would like to see where this ends up in 10 years.
