Ruby red in color. 13.9% ABV. Pretty nose of red fruits, baking spices and rose petals. Light to medium body with perfect acidity. Just enough fruit to keep this compelling. Cherries, cranberry, nutmeg and earth on the palate. The finish is long and supple. A little long in the tooth but still an absolute pleasure to drink. Best over the next year or so.

Ruby red in color. 13.9% ABV. Gorgeous nose of red fruits, cloves and forest floor. Medium body with tremendous acidity and minerality. Light and extremely elegant. Bing cherries, wild strawberries, mushrooms and earth on the palate. The finish is exceptionally long and silky. Stunning Pinot Noir that is notable for both its finesse and charm. Best over the next 1-2 years.
Like the Rochioli Riverblock it’s entered deep into maturity and just starting to sour. Still plenty of ripe red fruit, clove, and black pepper here. Drink in the next year or so.

Festive nose of cranberry candle, incense, and wild blueberries. Cranberry-driven, with notes of blueberries and sweet vanilla. While the oak is beginning to integrate, I would wait a few more years.

Good pinot noir. Still seemed somewhat young. But still expensive for what you get.
