  13.6% alcohol. Bright cherry color. This is just smoking right now. Gorgeous nose of red cherry, earth, a hint of floral and mushroom, and good baking spice. In the mouth, vibrant and dazzling, with tangy cherry fruit, wonderful, expanding layers of complexity, and bright acidity. A long finish. Beautiful. A-/A

  13.6% alcohol. Light red cherry color. Phenomenal bouquet of red cherry, baking spice, earth, a light floral streak, and minerals. In the mouth, vibrant, pure, and focused. This is the picture of balance and elegance, matched with persistent red cherry fruit. The complex earth and spice notes are in the background but more elegant than subtle. Good acidity. A smooth, refined finish. This plain rocks. A-/A

  - Violet color and aromas of cherry, strawberry jam and black currant. It's balanced and has flavours of tobacco, cherry, raspberry and strawberry jam with a medium body with a medium finish.

  Another very good bottle. Bright red fruits, citrus zest and a high-tone "fattiness" that you find in some Russian River Pinots. Wonderful with roast chicken.

  13.6% alcohol. In a gorgeous place right now. Light red color. Stunning, expansive nose of red cherry, minerals, flowers, and a hint of baking spice. In the mouth, precise and pure, a harmonious and beautiful expression of Pinot Noir fruit, showing red cherry, stony minerality, and light floral and spice notes, along with a hint of apple skin. The finish is long and juicy. This has spread out and become texturally very refined and velvety over the past 18 months. It will drink will for the next 3-5 years easily. A beauty. A-/A
