Discovered in the back of the cellar; Cellared since release. Popped and poured. Very intense nose of cherry and raspberry, with an almost cough drop scent to it. On the palate - red fruit intensity - classic Sonoma Coast and then a finish which falls off a cliff into undrinkable drying tannins. Could have been very good 5 years ago but I still wonder whether the balance was ever there.

(Flowers Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast) Group's #2 (my #3) - fish sauce, umami nose; tasty tart red fruit, cherry and raspberry palate, with hints of lime; medium tart finish

very complex. Soft on the attack. Cherry, Cranberry, and Cola in the taste. However, it's a bit hot.

Thin with a short finish. Some ripe plum tones.
