Summertime strawberry patch nose, cherry cola, baking spice palate. Nice cherry pie + Carneros smoke complexity to this one too.

Black cherry, blueberry, cola spice, cloves, subtle hint of bitter black raspberry. Slight tinge of canned green beans. Palate mimics nose with a long, creamy finish.

Strawberry cola and some blackberry bramble. Nice finish. Not the most complex wine but pretty darn good. Fruit forward pinot with some balance.

Pale purple color. Aromas of cherry coke, strawberry and baking spices with herbs. Smooth red fruit flavors with a smoky finish.

Straight from the tap in the tasting room. Definitely strawberries, a hint of smoke, jam, some nice light herbal tones. Very fresh.
