Consistent with prior notes. Fruit starting to fade a bit, but not in a bad way. Raspberry, pomegranate, citrus (blood orange), tea, rose petals, crushed granite, spice, redwood. Medium body. Long-minus finish. One of my favorite Pinots.

Excellent Sonoma valley Pinot. Immediate notes of cirtus, redwood, red fruit and earth. Light crisp tastss of citrus, raspberry, and redwood. Subtle backend tastes of oak and smoke, with light earth Flavors. Kind of wish I had let it age another 2-3 years. But still very good

Pomegranate, red raspberry, tea, rose petals, cinnamon, crushed granite. Medium body. Very nicely balanced and fragrant. At peak now but should drink well for 2-4 more years.

Pomegranate, raspberry, tart red apple, rose petals, crushed granite, cinnamon, tea. Medium body & acidity. Medium-long finish. Drink now with a decant or in the next 4-5 years.

Raspberry, pomegranate, spice, tea, cinnamon. Medium body. Medium-plus acidity. Medium-plus finish. Best after decanting several hours. Probably at least 2 years from peak.

Excellent expression of the west Sonoma coast. Probably should have sat on it a few more years but couldn’t help myself!

Absolutely delicious! Deep ruby, cherry candy on the nose, almost like jolly ranchers. Tastes of cherry, strawberry and raspberry. Juicy, bright fruits, good structure. A gem!

More serious and less immediately fruity than the Sonoma Coast blend (tasted side by side). Very good balance, opened up over time in the glass. Might be best to give it a few more years, since at least right now I’d take the Sonoma Coast bottling over this one.
