Aromas of sweet berry fruit with spiced notes. The palate shows developed ripe dark red fruit, cherry with oak, cinnamon spice and mineral notes. Soft tannins with rustic edge, elegantly balanced, vivid acidity, lingering finish ending with earthy mineral notes. Wow!

Reminiscent of an Oregon Pinot Noir from the Dundee hills region, while still maintaining that classic, Californian fruit forward approach. Ripe red fruits like strawberry, cherry, and pomegranate. A fair amount of mineralality and oaked flavor too. Could easily lay for another 5 years +

Barrel sample. Ripe red fruit, great acid, fine tannins. Showing overt oak as expected.

Great blend of vineyards. Fresh, fun and soft tannins. I had it at the winery. Full of strawberries and raspberries.
