Lush as is typical for Russian River. If you like a big Pinot, this is for you. A medium bodied Pinot which we had with a steak salad. Great pairing.

Musty, mineral, light for a Nebbiolo. Had a pinot noir last night and not much more body than that. Nice fruit (raspberry) and short, dry finish.

Nice dry rose. Went great with grilled burgers, fresh tomatoes and cucumber salad. Just enough fruit. Very refreshing on a hot (98 degrees) night.
The wine looks peach colored. Aromas of orange and cantaloupe. Light bodied, smooth finish. Enjoyed it very much.

Nothing overly complex, just refreshing summer wine. This has been our go-to summer wine for the past two years. We like our wines more on the dry side, but due to the fruit on this wine, it pleases both us and those who enjoy something with a little sugar on the palate. I think it would please the Sauvignon Blanc crowd as well as the white zin crowd.

Drank on Christmas Eve with Trudy and Josh. Enjoyed the wine prior to a feast of soup and bread. The wine was good, not great, and had reached its drinkability. I'm glad we did not save it any longer.
