This was a nice pinot in that more saturated style that Walt does. I thought the balance was nice and it had some nice flavors, cherry and even a little dark fruit, with some baking spice for me.

This is a really good place. Medium bodied and everything is in great balance. Tannins are smooth but there’s still nice fruit. It’s nice a huge Napa wine but elegant. It was great by itself and with some cheese.

Finally a zin I can get onboard with. I'm usually not a big fan of zin since they tend to be for me, too much fruit, not enough structure. This is really nice. It has some serious acidity which I don't see much in zins and it has nice rich fruit like most Robert Craig wines. I taste black fruit, blackberry, with a hint of red fruit but also nice tannin and acidity. Very nice wine. In a good place right now. Nice with some food. Had it over two days and similar notes each day. Definitely has structure to hold if you like as well.
