A full-body Pinot! Deep Ruby with berry aromas, floral and garden spice. On the palate ripe strawberry and dried cherry fruit with vanilla spice and cedar notes. The wine is well structured, silky smooth tannins, balanced acidity carry the wine to a lingering spicy finish. Very Nice!

Another great showing, dark cherry and black tea. Nose was on fire with loamy earth and wood notes. Still another 2-3 years in the cellar to peak.

9 years old and 15.3% alcohol and it shows great. Ripe raspberry and sweet spice with an epic finish.

This was just released and it is showing a lot of oak. Hopefully it integrates with time
