Taster’s Notes:

“Big wine, dark purple, concentrated, big nose of sugar, burnt oak and vanilla with flavor profile of some mocha, raisins, figs and oak.”

WINEMAKER'S NOTES:

“A savory composition of berry preserves, toffee and spicy oak aromatics serves as a beautiful introduction to our latest offering. This elegant wine lingers on the palate, slowly drifting to a chewy, yet supple finish.”

Winemaker Notes:

“With a rich ruby color, this full-bodied wine opens with aromas of cigar box, Bing cherries, cranberry sauce, saddle leather, and bay leaves. On the palate, we find flavors of Luxardo cherries, Campari, Valrhona chocolate, pomegranates, and apple tartlets, with robust tannins and hints of freshly turned earth and crushed rocks on the long and persistent finish.”

Rating: 93 Points (James Suckling)

Plenty of black currants and licorice aromas with blueberries and hints of tar. Full body, fine tannins and an asphalt and slate finish. Drink in 2018.

Tasting Notes: Ruby red in color with a highly aromatic nose of spice and high-toned red fruit - tart cherry and raspberry. On the palate, deep flavors of raspberry, cola and toast, concentrated together in a classic clonal-designate way. This wine shows the great acid profile of a refined Pinot that will age beautifully. If you can wait, lay it down for a few years and you will be well rewarded.
