  Good initial nose, berries with some earthy notes. Gentle on the tannins, should drink now.

  Bad Cork with signs of seepage so I knew it probably wasn't going to be good!

  Dirty brick red. Mashed up strawberry plants, spice, and cedar nose. Medium bodied, raspberries, slightly sour cherries, abundant yet not dominant tannins, cola, and a warm, leathery medium length finish. A very nice Cali Pinot.

  funky on the nose, earth on the palate. Finish turns a bit astringent/bitter. dark chocolate, dark cherry, strawberry on the nose. not too shabby.

  An improvement on the SRH bottling. Sage, cherry and baking spice on the nose. The palate is rather full bodied and fruit forward. A bit flabby, however, though not as dull and flat as the SRH. Somewhat candied flavors on the finish. A bit over-oaked and/or too young. Well-made and clearly varietal Pinot, but missing some earth and freshness for my taste.
