red juicy fruit, strawberry jam without being sweet. good flavor, light on tannins but long lasting.

This wine reminded me more of an Oregon style Pinot than a California one. Lots of red cherries and raspberries both on the nose and on the palate. It has a lingering spice that I could not pin down but pleasant. This is a good choice for meh day and I just want a glass of wine to unwind.

Confused by the high reviews. So light it’s barely there. Stopped drinking and switched to something else.

An initially robust nose with herbaceous and spicy top notes leads into a characteristic medium-bodied mouthfeel with hints of cherry jam and smoky cedar and a rich but smooth finish.

Raspberry with some cherry, definitely sweet hints of vanilla. Not too much of a finish. California pinot for sure.
