This wine trades on prettiness without losing the ability to show lovely, deep fruit and spice. Beautiful talc, floral, baking spices, and especially ripe cherries on the nose. Palate is really pretty with added notes of earth, plum, truffles, and bright red fruits. The wine is balanced with very fine sweet tannins and moderately bright acidity. Finish is nicely long. This is a really nice wine.

Very pretty nose, strawberries and rose. Intense almost syrupy fruit in the middle and finish. After about 2 hours the wine improved, needs some more time in the bottle, at least another 1 if not 2. Enjoyed with pork tenderloin.

Dark magenta color. Pretty thin on the nose, but great flavors of strawberry, raspberry, rose, while not being a fruit bomb. Good balance and structure, medium to long finish. Characteristic Sonoma Coast minerality underlying the whole thing. Very enjoyable.
