This is from one of the top producers of Pinot Noir in California. Stylistically, it is more feminine in style but still packs plenty of sunshine and fruit. Deep ruby in color. The nose has cherries and candied cherries with slight spice and earthiness. On the palate, this is medium to full bodied. Nice acidity. There is some depth as it unwinds in the glass. Still drinking quite young and this will continue to improve for the next five to seven years. It should drink well over the next ten to fifteen years. Great on its own, it will work well with roasted fowl or veggies. More ce
Perhaps its a style thing, but this one was not up my alley. Maybe it just hasn't held up well or not optimally stored. Ruby in color. The nose is ok, with cherries and cherry juice. On the palate, this is sweet. Has to be some residual sugar I would think. Candied cherries. Not much depth. Not much acidity. Frankly, I couldn't wait for the finish to end. I know some people would love this wine, but I am not one of them. YMMV. Given that I just don't like this style it doesn't seem fair to score it.
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.
