I'm no expert, but this wine has some of the most delicate fruit notes, particularly raspberry, with a nice mature, medium body; a good weight without being too heavy. Not sure how to describe the finish, but it seemed to lay on more spice. Man I need to find more wines like this! VML consistently puts out good stuff!

Cherry on the nose, with blackberry background. Velvet on the tongue, with a little pepper spice in the finish. My favorite wine of the 2012 VML celestial series. Drink this alone or with a bit of a goat gouda cheese. Spectacular! Enjoy while star-gazing and pondering life's deep questions. 2012 vintage

Darker colored Pinot noir from Russian river valley. Lots of barnyard and forest floor with a little perfume on the nose. Some cherry cough syrup on the palette. High alcohol at 14.7%.
