Had planned on this being undrinkable looking at previous notes. Nose was pleasant with dried cherry, herbs and some Earth. Fell apart on the mid pallet finished decent obviously disjointed. Have had worse

Light ruby in the glass with a nose of baking spices and tart red fruits. Light and thin on the palate, but balanced and enjoyable with the baking spice and fruit coming through nicely. Surprisingly, played well with various spicy sushi rolls.

Drinkable but thin and lean. Not much to it. Nose is the best part by far.
My wife really enjoyed it. Personally I would pass of on future offerings but I may have to consider if the right price is there because my wife liked it so much. I would have rated it lower but wifey really enjoyed.

Bahhh....Epic Fail! I enjoy a lighter bodied Pinot, but this was thin and barely considered wine. I should have had water and saved myself $22. Last bottle skunked me on this one. Hint of earth on the nose. Otherwise no redeeming qualities. Too thin to even cook with. My lowest score for a wine that's not flawed since I've been on this site. Had I known I'd have saved it for company or gifted it to someone I don't like.

This needed a few hours to open up in the decanter, no surprise, still very young. Very unique, opaque, cloudy crimson color. More old world style, with some new-world flashes that does not detract. Nose brings herbs, dried cherries, lavender, and hints of candied strawberries. The palate is light yet full, bringing raspberries, strawberries, rhubarb, green tea, and lingering hints of herbs and spices. The finish mellowed out with air and food, but this will be best 2016-2021. Went great as the encore wine with grilled Copper River salmon.

Did not even get a taste; the over 21 kids polished off the bottle with no complaints at Seder.
