Opened and set out for about half an hour prior to tasting. Shows rich, ripe fruit on the nose, some warm oak, and forest floor notes. Very easy to drink but still has firm, grippy tannins. Perhaps another 3-5 years will help integrate those more. A very, very well made wine that just needs more time in the cellar, in my opinion.

Nice cherry and cranberry notes. Good acid and fruit balance. Medium finish.

A pleasant change from CA Pinots. Light, simple. Cherry, cranberry, minerality, smokey oak. Great at about 60 degrees.

This is drinking very well at the moment. Not much complexity, but the flavors of cherry and cranberry glide over the palate with an appealing silky texture. Tannins are minimal, and the acidity is well-integrated. Delicious. (89-90)

This is drinking SO good right now. Give it a hour or two of air time, this wine starts off pretty reserved but takes on a bit of weight as it warms up and gets air. The acidity on this wine is great, you think on the first sip that it isn't enough initially but it rises and is really well balanced. This wine is over all really well balanced and integrated at this point. Killer stuff. 89+

Great nose here, fresh red fruit, like a bowl of fresh red berries. The palate shows more of the same, juicy, fresh red fruits. Great acidity here, this is nearly refreshing feeling with each sip. The fruit outlasts the structure, leaving behind a nice aftertaste. Straight-forward, but really well done in that regard.
