Very cool label for this (and the Chardonnay). The wine is a deep ruby in color, mostly opaque and bright. The nose is a bit earthy with a note of sweaty socks along with black cherries and cherries. Medium to full bodied. Nice texture. On the palate, plenty of sour cherry fruit with some black cherries. Good finish. This is very California in style for a Pinot Noir. It drinks well on its own and will work well with many foods especially foods on the bigger side. Drink over the next seven to ten years. Nice value for Pinot Noir.
Just a fantastic Rosee. It is a blend of 53% Syrah, 42% Grenache, and 5% Mourvedre. Deep salmon pink in color, clear and bright. The nose has black cherries, strawberries, orange peel and slight almonds. Full bodied. Light tannins. Great energy. Wonderful texture. On the palate, this is delicious. It is also complex. Flavors of raspberries, cherries and slight orange with a bit of spice and slight carob powder. Long finish. This is great on its own and will work with a wide variety of foods. It worked great with grilled Zucchini. Drink over the next three to five years.
