Bright Ruby with aromas sweet ripe red berry fruits and spice. On the palate cherry and strawberry flavors, almost jammy, with vanilla notes, sweet oak and hint of spice. Fine tannins, tight, lingering finish ending with a sweet character. Ok value. Tasting Sample.

This Pinot noir has a flow of cherry flavor with an uncommon finesse and panache.

Did I say "Mmmmmm" or "Yum" on my first sip? Doesn't matter, because I said both throughout the glass. Dark berries, with peppery spice, but not too full bodied for a pinot, despite the dark, cab-like color. Well balanced tannins and acidity. 2015 vintage in April 2018.

Beautiful Pinot with dark cherry and pepper. Paired with salmon, this was a wonderful wine and I would certainly buy it again.

Alight sweetness. Light plum and currant. Very consistent for a Russian River Pinot Noir.
