Really good, very RRV, in fact reminds me a bit of J Swan's CC3 pinot, with it's big nose of sweet cherries backed up by a broad musky coffee/sous bois thing. Refreshing tartness on the palate and good weight. This is really well done.

The wine is a clear pale ruby with non-staining legs.
The nose is clean and of medium plus intensity consisting of strawberries, cranberries, cherries, lavender flowers, nutmeg, a slight pepperiness, cola bean, churned earth, and wet forest floor. This is a youthful wine.
The wine is of pronounced intensity, dry with medium tannins, medium plus acid, medium to medium plus alcohol and body. Significant palate of ripe cherries, plum, strawberry, and cranberry with the earthiness still present but playing second fiddle to the fruit. The finished on this wine is medium plus and fruit forward. This wine should be drunk now and not aged.
This is a very good quality wine with pleasant earthiness and very bright fruit.

Bright ruby color. Strong nose of cherry and bright fruits. I suspect a couple years past it’s prime. Tasted flat with no finish.
