Very nice fruit/acid balance at 9 years. A vintage to shine in for the best producers!

Fun Friday evening with great wines.
Classic WS raspberries all over this wine. Bright and acidic. Very fresh and juicy raspberries, fleshy strawberries, stem and herbs. A touch thin on the palate, but time may have beefed it up a bit after I had left. Just a hint of black cherries here, but overall, the profile here is decidedly red fruit driven with a light body and high acidity.

Strawberry, dark cherry, touch of baking spice, smooth finish.

Jan 30th, 2018Killer stuff. Dried fig and raisin, plum, currant, black cherry, wild mushroom and earth. Accessible and generous from the second it was opened, developed into a perfect relationship between acid, fruit and tannin.

Smooth as silk. Soft as a feather. All while retaining depth and complexity.

Jul 13th, 2017A very complex Pinot Noir. Interesting red fruit, floral and spice hints on the nose. Lots of cherry, plum and raspberry on the palate. Elegantly balanced with a juicy long finish that screams give me more! Russian River Pinot at perhaps it's best!

Really nice and mellow wine that showed some pretty rich yet bright red fruit but transitioned into a softer and pleasantly acidic finish. Not a show stopper, but a wonderfully made wine that was perfect for the ambiance. I'd recommend letting this on age for about 6 years.

Barrel aged for 15 months (60% new and 40% 1 year old), sourced from four sites along Eastside Road: Foss, Calegari, Hunt Ryd, and Lone Oak Vineyards. Dark Ruby with black fruits and sweet spice. On the palate cherry, blackberry and ripe plum flavors with cinnamon spice and alluring soft tannins, still wrapped with nice structure. The finish lingers with a complex ending of cacao and earthy mineral tones. Nice! Tasting Sample!
