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.

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.

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.

Full bodied. On the palate, the blak cherries dominate yet there is a lovely softness to the wine that makes it accessible now. Good balance. Light tannins. Even in a 375ml size, this should easily last another ten years. It drinks well on its own and will w
