Purple/garnet color and neutral mouth feel. Cherry and a little rhubarb fruit. Some gravel on the finish, but not much in between. Definitely a food wine--good with sausage and chicken jambalaya.
12/2/2018 More purple than typical Pinot. Fruit has gone from red dominated to more black cherry and berry. Pleasantly austere finish. Still rates high as a food wine, this time with pot roast.

Bright ruby color with great clarity. Really nice nose of cherries, raspberries and cranberries. Juicy red fruit palate with a very pure cherry flavor and some minerality coming through. Medium+ acid, silky tannins and mouthfeel and a long finish. Medium bodied. This was a pleasure to just sip and enjoy. This is Cali pinot that suits my palate perfectly.

Juicy, too young, very easy to drink. Time should give us some earthiness. Extremely good with pork roast with currant sauce, very ripe black cherry, cinnamon , ripe black raspberry. Great fun to drink.

More briar fruit this time around, but still lacking some dimension. Good food wine, went great with pepper steak.

Velvety on the mouth, rich on the nose.

Cherry and a bit of grapefruit on the nose. Cherries, strawberries, herbs du provence, and a hint of chutney on the finish.

Cherries, strawberies and herbs wrapped in a softer fruit forward style that is easy to drink. Drink now or hold short term.

Translucent garnet. Strawberry and watermelon with a mineral backbone. Lighter styled.

Pop and pour. Starts out with crisp strawberry fruit and minerals. With air, it evolves into a fuller wine with earth and dark red fruit.

Great Pinot. Tasted this at a winemaker's dinner and bought a couple bottles. This is great now, but I have a feeling this will be better next year...
