Russian River Valley, oh how I miss you. Really great wine. Tart red fruit and nice subtle tannins.

I was shocked by how delicious this was. FULL of fruit flavor. Great balance of dry, ripe berry, baking spice, and soft tannins. Wonderful with a meal and wonderful with my couch ☺️

Forest floor and dark cherry on the nose. Spicy and rich, followed by fruit and oak.

Not very complex. Ok for the price. Can be put away for a while

This is a rich and well balanced Pinkt due the warmer Sonoma climate. Extremely well balanced wine with notes of anise, cinnamon and clove spices complementing a bright raspberry and cherry core. Serve it with crispy in duck in a honey glaze.
