Bright, tart fruit with spice in spades. Fine acid in the finish. Smooth and well balanced. A beautiful wine.

Nov 13th, 2018Excellent example of an inland SLH Pinot, more Burgundian in style. Dark cherry, blackberry and earthy nose. Silky smooth cherry and rhubarb on the palate as the acid slowly takes over the finish.

This wine has aged gracefully. The nose was very complex and aromatic. The lithe texture is a result of balanced acidity and fine grained tannins, without any overwhelming fruit. The fruit leaned towards fig and dried cherry.

Apr 1st, 2017Silky smooth with a flavor profile that builds and becomes more tart to a moderate acid finish. A classic Pinot.

Feb 12th, 2017Dried cherry and dark fruit nose. On the palate it is silky with subdued acid that shines in the finish. More tannic than most SLH pinots.

Aug 17th, 2016More Burgundian than the lower valley SLH vineyards, but still shows Classic SLH deportment. Tart cherry nose with a silky start that builds in acid to the finish. Pepper, oak, cedar more tart cherry with a long acid finish. Yum.
