2014 opened Aug 2017. Astringent nose. Smells of mown hay. Rhubarb, mint and cinnamon on the front of the palate. A smooth but not very developed tannic structure on the way down. It loses a lot of its greeness after being opened an hour, but unfortunately it fades into a unspectacular Pinot without much character. It's a wine that would go well beside lamb, but not one worth drinking by itself.

Keefer Ranch 2013. Slightly sweet and spicy red fruits with a nice finish. Tasty and ready to drink now.
