This was lovely. Best, I think, on Day 3. It was a little jammy at first, but opened with air and the previous tasting notes are spot on - Redwoods, mushrooms, tree sap. This is the foresty side of the Sonoma Coast. Makes me think of Occidental and the redwood forests surrounding the town. Perfect pairing for roast chicken with mushrooms and chive oil.

I was transported to the forest floor where the redwoods tower and the mushrooms mush and the sea breezes dampen the pine leaves, the moist soil lays its fine scent in my nose. This was fun.

Third bottle of this wine in 3 years, with noticeable improvement compared to when I first tasted this wine. Red fruit aromas with light florals/rose. Tastes fruit forward with juicy medium red berries/cherry (no purple notes). The other components have integrated a bit with time but still vibrant acidity with silky texture and delicious.

Very expressive. The last time I had this wine I thought the fruit showed more on the cranberry/pomegranate spectrum of red fruit, but today the fruit is deeper red, cherry/raspberries. I really enjoyed the silky texture and the bright acidity.

Dark juicy cherry fruit with a fine acidity. It is a little bit dense and needs a little time to open up. Perhaps lacks a bit of freshness and balance but otherwise a nice wine.
