Ruby in color, purple core. The nose has cherry juice. On the palate, this is a bit more elegant. Cherries and spice. Some sour cherries. Good acidity. Long finish. Good match with food.

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.

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.

Ruby/purple in color. Slight barnyard funk along with some nice cherry fruit. On the palate sour cherries but also a slight vegetal note. Seems like a solid wine but perhaps a bit under ripe.
