Deep ruby in color. The nose has light cherries and spice. Much better on the palate. Complex layers of cherries and earth. Also some black cherries. Drinking well. Long finish.

This is the best vintage of this wine and that is saying something. The top Pinot Noir uses the best barrels of all of his single vineyard wines to craft this wine. Normally, a very fruit forward wine, this is more ephemeral in nature. The term "Burgundian" gets thrown around a lot but is not far from the mark here. Deep ruby in color. Clear and bright. The nose is great with raspberries, black cherries, cherries, spice and slight clean earthiness. Medium to full bodied. Light tannins. On the palate, this unwinds slowly in the glass. Deep and complex. Cherry and black cherry frui

This is made in 375ml bottles. It is a blend of various Pinot Noir's that are bottled as single vineyard releases. This is of course still a bit young and while good, it seemed lacking a bit compared to prior vintages. Deep garnet in color, clear and bright. The nose has sour cherries and char. Medium to full bodied. On the palate, there is solid sour cherry fruit. Not much in the way of nuances but hopefully as it ages, it also develops more. It would be better with food. Salmon would work well.

This is a barrel selection of the best barrels of various vineyards and bottle exclusively in 375ml bottles. Deep ruby in color, mostly clear and bright. The nose has cherries, sour cherries, slight nutmeg and slight char. Medium bodied. Light to medium tannins. Good acidity. On the palate, sour cherries, some cherries with a lovely texture. Good finish. This could use another five to ten years of cellaring but is enjoyable now. Drink over the next fifteen years. Nice on its own, this would work well with grilled chicken breast.

TFL is a cuvee of some of the best barrels of Pinot Noir in the cellars. This is deep ruby in color. The nose has sour cherries, dust, cherries and spice. On the palate, this has light tannins. Sour cherry fruit. This is young, of course, but delicious. It will work well with fowl or heavier sea foods. It is only bottle in a 375ml format, so ageing is not a long term option. Still, these will certainly last another five to seven years and probably more.

Ruby in color. The nose has sandalwood and cherries. Cherries and spice on the palate. Drinking well now if still a bit young. Nice finish.
