  Thanks to Alexander the Great. Lots of savory appeal here, and the fruit reigns fresh. Cool climate Pinot which never had the chance to develop root beer aromas.

  Pick from Angus Barn cellar. Dark ruby color with nice color gradation but slight bricking under inspection. Nose has surprising amount of perfume, big violet, some mushroom, big barnyard. Palate of cassis, more perfume, good balance, still some tannins remaining. Mouthfeel is fine to medium grain. Pleasantly surprising. This wine is still drinkable but this is the year. Nice value if you find one stored properly.

  Ripe berry nose, definitely showing its cali roots. On the palate, very balanced, good acidity. Fruit is present but seemingly not overripe, well made wine.

  An impressive performance, especially for the vintage. Cloves and bright red fruit, nice texture for an easy drinker.

  Fresh fruit and subtle acid. Though there is some CO2 in this. Makes it lively but unexpected.
