  Light, crunchy, delicious, and in a nice spot. Surprisingly complex for this lighter and crunchier style of wine. Very nice.

  From magnum. The color is a translucent ruby that looks like California pinot noir. This wine tastes like the bottle looks - a screwcap wine with no punt. Seriously, I know those aren't bad, but this tastes like "plonk". Boring overall and a little harsh, with no finish at all. Day 2 under argon, the wine is even more mellow but a stinky funk has taken residency. I love my funk but this is not good funk. I have not been impressed with any of the Bonny Doon wines that I purchased, I wonder if they're living off their previously-built reputation.

  Pale garnet color. Offers cranberry, smoke, forest floor and a faint gaminess. Soft and delicate on the palate, mossy with dried cherry and a bitter edge. Sweet in the finish.
