Intense, interlaced aromatics of black cherry, smoke, mint, and white pepper. Medium to full boddied with bright fruit and even brighter acidity! Dusty and mouth coating tannins mix with bright plum, black cherry, forrest floor, cola and smoke. The finished is long and smooth as silk.

Thanksgiving Day. A fine pinot, not overly impressive but once it opened up it was very good.

Big bright fruit, dark ruby red color with a leather licorice finish. Let this one sit for a couple years to smooth out.

2014 vintage. Pretty, delicate nose. Medium/Heavy body. Some rose petal notes framed by big tobacco & earth. Definitely old school/old world style. Dirty & delicious.
