Very good, but not their best effort. Relatively simple, fruity nose and flavor profile. Red fruits and some cola. Pleasant and likely reached its peak.

Prior bottle was nearly a year ago and my notes were quite consistent. Red raspberry, red cherry, earth, light spices and mineral notes on the nose. Medium bodied with mineral accented red raspberry upfront, balanced by softer and more open red cherry. Mid-body continues to open up nicely, showing good fruit expression, depth and balance. Contrast is provided by the cranberry and tart red cherry on the backside. Finishes with mineral and light spices. The spice notes in particular have come much more into balance with the fruit. Finish showed better length than I recalled from my prior bottles. Overall, this wine shows purity of fruit and good structure. Drinking very well at present, but should be able to hold this level over the next couple of years.

Medium ruby in color. Really pretty nose: dried flowers, forest floor, but these desiccated notes are lifted by bright red fruit, raspberry and cranberry. High toned red fruit on palette, with a touch of pepper/spice on the back end. Medium body, medium high acid. For me, this is drinking very nicely right now.

Delightful. Bright cherry, spices and seemed a little like a RR. Nice acidity and great balance. Plenty of time left and wish I had more.

Time to drink up. Still good, but likely towards the end of its peak drinking window. Lovely - delicate, balanced, understated “Pinosity”.
