Pretty ruby in color with medium intensity and a wide reddish rim.

Red fruits on the nose with light wood, roses, spices, licorice and chocolates.

Medium bodied with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with raspberries, bing cherries, red currants, earth, light wood, spices, coffee and peppercorn.

Spicy finish with soft tannins and tangy cranberries.

This is a very tasty Single Vineyard Pinot Noir from Russian River Valley in california. Flowery and engaging. Nicely balanced with a soft mouthfeel. Tangy and interesting.

Good right out of the bottle and easy drinking. spicy and fruit forward.

I had the 2018 a few years ago, and enjoyed it just as much. Will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.

Good by itself as a sipping wine, or with food.
