Ruby with aromas of red fruits and floral spice. On the palate simple flavors of cherry and strawberry with dried dried herbs, lively acidity and rustic tannins. The finish is short and ends with fruit and earthy tones. Not a fan!

This 2015 vintage is very much like the 2014 I tried earlier, but perhaps a bit smoother. I love this value ($8.99) pinot noir. Great berry scent, slightly acidic, smooth finish, with a hint of smoke. Vinted and bottled in Napa calif. Abv. 13.5% .

A touch of smoke in the beginning. Then big toffee and slightly Carmel woody finish with a little spice.

I just love this wine. This one is the 2016 vintage, and seems identical to the previous years.

Mild acidity, low tannins, very berrylicious, and a hint of smoke.

Dinner prep pic, seasoned beef tenderloin with garlic salt asparagus coated in olive oil.

The end of my review, time to fire up the grill.
