Ruby with aromas of red fruits, floral and sweet spicy notes. On the palate flavors of raspberry, strawberry and currants with lavender and vanilla notes. Medium tannins with racy acidity, great mouthfeel on a medium finish ending with earthy notes. Nice, will age well!

Has held up extremely well. A 2010 that’s in a great spot. True Pinot!

2012 vintage. In remarkably good shape, considering its age and provenance. Tart cranberry, tart cherry, crabapple, red plum, autumn leaves. Fruit showed no sign of wear.

Brighter Pinot fruits, moist granite dust, ripe black cherry. Enjoyable.

Dark cherry, cranberry, orange rind. Delicious with great acid lift and tension. Yum!

Great value, bouncy fruit, soft and easy. Awesome alternative to pinot from almost anywhere for the price. These Spatbugunders have such a great sense of minerality to them.
