PnP. Identical to last tasting note in April. A great mouthful of fruit, elements of complexity, and a balancing acidity. Tough to beat -- except for the Blue Slide Ridge...

PnP. The nose yielded some cherry, and the distinctive RRV cola. The wine drank with an abundance of dark red fruits and RRV cherry cola, some spice, and good acidity to balance. The tannins are resolved, and the wine has a medium+ mouthfeel, with good balance. Should hold for a couple of years.

This is an OK wine. Nose of rich plum. On the palate one is immediately aware of the high alcohol. The fruit on the palate is raspberry and damson jam - clearly a very ripe wine. Suspect vintage was too hot for classy pinot.

Served out magnum. Lush and rich Pinot as expected given the 15% alchohol. Strong Berry flavor from the initial poor, with wood and oak popping in. Palate was lush and full with more strewed fruit, hints of charred earth and brush. Well made.
