An unfiltered, dusty, mouthful of rich fruit. Cherry, bramble, easy oak and drinking beautifully. Big nose. Drink now or drink in the next year or two. This is a classic Gafner wine.

This wine has it al, complexity, structure, fruit but it needs several years in the seller to integrate. Complex Minerality and salinity on the nose. Pure dark red fruit tart acidity and firm almost rough tannins. A very complex finish. This wine needs years to have these elements integrate. I saw a finish date of 2028.

Cloudy/dull ruby red with aromas of red cherries and hints of oak and leather. It was medium bodied, balanced, very smooth and had rich flavors of cherries. The finish was medium and had a little bitter burnt oak aftertaste.

Notes of cigar prevail on the nose and palate. Cedar and ripe red fruit, nutmeg and cinnamon on the nose as well. Palate is darker ripe fruit, spice, and that zingy citric acid component that while not overwhelming, puts its mark on the wine.
Medium body Cali Pinot, well made, medium-long finish.
