APPEARANCE: Bright, deep red, clear, 4/4; BOUQUET: Red berries, Dark Cherries, medium oak, light spice 12/14; TASTE: Initially tight but decent fruit; Opened to moderate berry / cherry fruit, slightly crisp but silky, "refreshing", moderate fruit finish 14/18; PREFERENCE: moderately well balanced but seems like it will knit with a couple more years, good fruit and finish 2/4;

Falltacular 2012 (FMIII in the OC): Nice job Chris on this second vintage with young fruit. Super dark color, spicy nose. Great complexity on the palate for such a young wine with spice weaving in and out. Medium+ finish. Really enjoyed it.

Hard to believe, but seems like it can continue to improve. The OMG feeling when you take a sip. Yes!

Big for a pinot. Part of a blind tasting. Loved it great with grilled filet. Strawberry and raspberry with touch if wood. Wonderful.
