“Discover California’s Wines”, Wine 5 (non-blind): The wine was medium ruby in colour and had a very ethereal nose of red fruit, eucalyptus, mint and ethereal notes. On the palate the wine showed red fruit, cranberry, red cherry, spices, a hint of liquorice and ethereal notes, with medium to medium-plus acidity, well-integrated tannin and very good length. Medium-bodied, balanced and fresh; very good! Lighter and fresher than the DeLoach Russian River Valley Pinot Noir 2013.

Sexy nose of luxurious cedar wood, dark cherries and brambleberries, nutmeg and over time herbaceous aspects appear. Palate is the same, rather intense fruit, full but not heavy, longish. Very good wine

A dark fruited pinot, with some spice, rich and round on the palate. Pretty nice wine, and my only knock would be that it's showing a fair bit of oak for my tastes.

Wow, I thought it might be a little over the hill, but the complexity was wonderful. Loved it!

Not getting better but not past. Opened a bit over the first 30 minutes. Then fruit started to fade a little. Slight earthiness too.
