Cherry red color, garnet core, watery rim. No sign of bricking. Cherry cola on the nose, vanilla and then strawberry/rhubarb pie, eucalyptus and allspice as it opened up. Bright acidity - fresh as a daisy. Nice structure, fine tannins. Layered, the same strawberry/rhubarb pie found on the nose that overtakes initial cherry and cola notes with air. Just a delicious wine with plenty more time left.

Nicely balanced. Ripe without being over the top. Cherry fruit, but lacking that cola note that so many Cali PN seem to possess. Why doesn't this producer get more love?
