Medium ruby-purple. Immediately attractive nose of cherry and vanilla. On the palate, cherry ripple ice cream... A touch of heat, no doubt from the high alcohol, but there's so much sweetness and body that it still feels in balance. Of its kind it's wonderful, though lovers of elegant Burgundy might find it over the top. Cork, 15%,

Packs a real punch. Loads of smoky herby aromas and masses of plum and cherry fruit so that the 15% alcohol is in balance. Herbs and sage on the mid-palate lead into a long, but slightly hot, finish.

Much better now than a few years ago. Red fruit, cherry, very clean with a long finish.

Cherry, black raspberry.. A little acidic, full bodied.

Pretty typical entry-level Cali Pinot here, though perhaps more on the feminine side. Really pretty good for the price.
