Dried raspberry, carnation, rose petal, and ripest plum, with palm leaf and cocoanut nose. Cherry and raspberry conspire on the palate to reign in the fruitiness with tart expressions. Very low tannic profile outside the fruit, with a violet side shuffle and pleasant touch of blackberry.

Deep Ruby color with aromas of red fruits, cedar and baking spice. On the palate flavors of cherry and raspberry with toasty notes and cinnamon spice. Aged in French oak (about 50% new). Full-bodied, fine tannins, long finish ending with fruit toasty oak and an earthy character. Nice!

Cost prohibitive good California Pinot. Cherry blossom aroma, balanced dark fruit, hint of sweet tobacco and acidity.

Napa Valley BottleRock Wine and Music Festival 2022. My least favorite but Jennifer and Laura’s top pick. To be fair it was two years younger than the other two PN we tasted.

Very tasty & well-structured, but at nearly $80-85/btl, I was expecting more. Hate to sound chincy, but there are a lot of surprising $30 btls & I’d gladly try 3 of those for the KB price tag. Had it w/ grilled salmon & grilled squid steak - well matched & held up w/ marinades.
