A racy version, with the vibrant acidity defining flavors of blackberry, blueberry, boysenberry and violet. Firm and balanced, this leaves a mouthwatering impression on the finish

Inky, opaque garnet with purple highlights. Smells of sweet oak, black cherry and blackcurrant syrup. Rich and powerful black cherry and blackcurrant flavours are surrounded and supported by supple tannins that coat the mouth and flex their athletic muscles as notes of liquorice and road dust linger in the finish. Dense and chewy, with well-integrated oak that only peeks out in the finish. This wine needs a few years to relax

Finding Pinot that is both delicate and satisfying at $30 is an accomplishment, whereas such a find at $22 borders on astonishing. This offers pure notes of cherry, red raspberry, and pomegranate with a nice little whiff of spice from 20% new French oak. Neither candied nor astringent, this clearly results from a series of good decisions made on behalf of excellent fruit

The primary virtue of this wine is its pure, straightforward, un-manipulated flavor it offers, unlike so many tricked-out Chardonnay fighting it out at price levels under $20. Though purity is the key, the pear and Golden apple fruit notes also show complexity from aging for 6 months in 20% new French oak barrels
