Still troubled by a prickle of CO2 but once it blows off, convincingly brambly fruited, sapid/stemmy and soil inflected.

This was great. Love the texture, a wave of flavor washing across the palate. Fresh exotic berry character. Sappy, juicy finish. Needed some reduction blow off.

Pale Ruby. Bright red fruit aromas with a spicy/steamy undertone. Needs air as it is bottled under screwcap. Second glass. Better than the first.

Great Burgundian style Pinot. Lucky to find a restaurant who produces such a great wine list for reasonable prices! Thank you Hal!

Maresh, Momtazi & Ribbon Ridge vineyard blend. Tons of power & spice. 2008 still showing massive structure to balance the powerful fruit.

Improved with more exposure to air. Better second night. Rich dark fruits.
