Big mouth full of dark fruit up front combined with the red fruit acidity of Dundee Hills. Very nice secondary flavor following, not quite to a cola in terms of carmel taste. Finishes with a bit of spice. Because of the acidity, pairing is important, choose some nice cheese or food with some fats to get the most of this one. This wine may not peak for 4-5 more years. Wish I had more than one more bottle.

Rich and lush Pinot, a little heavier, darker and more tannic than some of the Winderlea wines that I have had. Dark cherry and spice wrapped around a long finish that remains smooth throughout. Drinking extremely well now- opened 45 minutes before drinking, still going strong 2 hours later.

Strawberry jam, melon rind and spice on the nose. No structure yet. Tasty for sure. Smooth. Tart. If I had another bottle, I would try again in two years.

Still very young, and needs time to resolve its structure, but still tasty at this stage. Bright red fruits on the nose and palate. Medium-bodied, with stout acidity and fine tannins. Tasty now, probably better in a couple of years.
