Herbs, black tea, sherries and raspberries, pepper on the finish. Nice.

Fantastic cherries with ample earthiness on the nose. Draws one in. Balanced with good acidity, pleasant finish of just the right length. Would by this again.

My first time with this wine, big nose of cherries, dark color, bigger fuller style, has a great acid component on finish to balance the fruit

2010 had initial cherry punch then mellowed beautifully for pairing with Napa Style sandwiches, herbed almonds, Cowgirl creamery cheeses.

An awesome Pinot, bright red fruit, well balanced, rich and the finish just kept going and going. I wish I had more...
