  Consumed over 2 days (vacuvined), note from day 2. Nose: Medium expressiveness, blueberry, raspberry and allspice with mushroom and dark earth undertones. Palate: Medium bodied, spicy blue and dark red fruit attack, solid acidic back-bone provides good balance, earthiness dominates the back-end. Finish: Medium plus length - earth, raspberry, pomegranate, blueberry, and spice - all of it very nice! This wine shows the unique characteristics of pinot produced from the Carneros AVA showing the earthy blue fruit I frequently get from Willamette pinots while still possessing sun kissed fruit characteristics commonly found in Central Coast and RRV pinots.

  Medium red-violet color. Enticing nose of sweet and sour cherry, bay leaf, vanilla, wood smoke. On arrival, low-medium tannin and balanced acidity. Flavor entirely matches the nose: delicious, deftly balanced if also not bruiser in terms of concentration and extract. Medium finish. Fine match with rice-stuffed oak-fired rotisserie chicken, corn succotash and chilled rhubarb-strawberry-lime compote.
