Stunning Ruby color with aromas of sweet red fruit and herb baking spice. Aged for 14 months on French oak, (32% new). On the palate flavors of cherry and raspberry with clove, herb and baking spices. Long rich finish, fine full soft tannins ending with fruit, spice, cedar and slight earthy notes. Top-notch!

Ruby with sweet red fruit aromas and herb spice notes. On the palate a rich full flavor of blackberry and dark cherry with cinnamon spice, oak and fine tannins. Cridp acidity, good balance, ending with earthy character. Very Nice! Tasting well.

Ruby with berry fruit aromas and herb scents. On the palate cherry and cranberry flavors with earthy notes and floral spice. Good balance, soft texture on lingering finish ending with earthy tones.

Both Pinots are fresh, light-to-medium weight and extremely red-fruit driven, with lots of cherry and strawberry. The S&B has a bit more of a savory and herbal aspect
