  Bright fruity nose, complex palate of brambly blackberry and cherry notes, medium weight, long finish. Easy to drink but good acidity that can probably handle another year or two of age but it’s very good now.

  Thin, not overly complex but very enjoyable and great QPR! Has the body of a Willamette pinot with less of the red fruit and more acidity.

  In Monkey Jacket, Michael Cruse wants to capture the Napa vintage through a mix of grapes - primarily Valdiguie, Carignan, and Tannat. It’s light, bright, and soft crunchy. Fun but go for his single vineyards.
