    Great wine that went down a little too easy. A well made classic cab, maybe on the lighter side but not your typical paso fruity alcoholic bomb. It has a beautiful dark red color and nice fruit on the nose like cherry and currant. Medium bodied with great mouthfeel and acid it was a pleasure to drink, especially with the moderate alcohol. Well integrated at this point with fine tannins, light oak flavor and a fairly long dusty finish.

    More of a CA style pinot. Medium bodied, dark color, fruit forward, cherry and alcohol on the nose. Some brown sugar and spice comes through as well. This wine tastes HOT with lots of candied dark fruit and good acid. Not really getting anything else. It's definitely tasty just not super interesting. This is not a young wine but some air did help this calm down a bit so either decant or lay it down longer.

    Decanted briefly. Looks beautiful, dark purple but clear. Just a little sediment. On the nose I get blueberries, herbs, and floral notes. No alcohol detected. Tasting it at first it is quite acidic and dry. Not too fruity, decent but not crazy tannins, light oak. Good structure but the finish is kind of short. With food this really came alive. Because it is more old-world style with high acidity it really cut through and cleansed the palate.
    Solid well made interesting wine that has lots of potential, it just needs some more time to come together.
