  A bit “thick” for a Pinot. Heavy BlackBerry. Almost felt like a Bordeaux.

  Inviting nose of dark berries, plum, mushroom, and tobacco. Black raspberry, dark berry, and plum fruit tastes. Medium to full bodied, firm tannins.

  Mouthwatering, stylish and earthy delivering dark cherry, blackberry, licorice and wild herbs. Medium to high acidity in a medium bodied frame. For some reasons it has a sense of place to me. NI:4, FI:21, FC:7, B:3, L:3

  Deep ruby-purple colored, nearly inky. Smashed plums, cherries, blackberry, blueberries, violets, pencil shavings, toasted oak, smoke, espresso, tomato leaf. Juicy fruit, grippy tannin, minerals, tart short finish. Complex, and takes a few days of being opened to come around.
