Color: dark ruby, some purple Nose: red fruited with cherry and strawberry freshly cut. It has a plethora of other notes that are all from the fruit and fermentation: oregano, diesel fuel, ripe blueberry and blackberry, wet stones, apricot jam, fresh yogurt Palate: high acidity, reminiscent of barbera; tannins are tame. Body medium-full. Confirms the nose with very high intensity Finish: medium
I always cherish this wine. In the annual release anthill farms does in which the release library wines, I buy a few bottles to enkouly California Pinot at peak - it really doesn't get more typically correct than this, and the production is small, so that's the kind of wine I'll never get if I move back to Europe. But I also always get a couple of these - and they slap. The fruit is so crunchy, there are white wine notes every time. Super cool wine. And the best label of any wine in my cellar

Nose with coffee and dark fruit. Chest-heating alcohol. The palate has red fruit, metal, blood, and notes of meat.

Young but very delicious. I will hold a few years and expect it to be even better.
