  Big bold Pinot. Black cherry fruit with cola, loam and tar. Voluptuous body with nice structure and a salty finish. Despite its density and "in your face" fruit profile, this still has balance with just enough acidity and freshness to stand up to the fruit. RRV on steroids

  Absolutely wonderful -- Two Birds is one of the best vineyards from one of the very best makers of pinot noir in the U.S., and the 2017 vintage is drinking VERY well right now.

  Deep ruby, slightly translucent. Reserved aromas of plums, black cherries, black raspberries. Full, rich flavors but very round and balanced, with no significant tannin. The aroma remained very restrained the second night. We didn't enjoy this as much as the Martinelli Blue Slide Ridge or the Kistler Cuvee Elizabeth a few days ago.
