Red fruit and roses on the nose. Cherry, plum and raspberry fruit, with orange zest, graphite, earth, smoke and spice on the palate. Enjoyable everyday wine with nice acidity. — 14 days ago

At first the acid felt out of balance. Notes of barnyard and raspberries. But a little while later, and along with a fat steak and some sautéed kale, that acid blended in more and it was a work of art!
Raspberries still dominate but the barnyard fell into a back note. It feels like a warm summer evening as the sun is about to go down. Notes of light cherry and a hint of tarragon lead into a balanced palate of dusty earth and cranberry. The best cali wine I’ve had for a bit. — 5 months ago

Great vineyard, produced by Copain. Very well balanced, smooth and well behaved. I remember having another producer of the same vineyard, maybe Littoria, that had a bit more upfront character. — 6 months ago

9.1

Very pleasing at this stage of maturity, dominated by brown tones of stems, forest floor and licorice root. The fruit shows a muted level of dark raspberry. A nice level of acidity brings it all together — 4 months ago
