This is a dry wine, yet the flavors of raspberries and cherries are sweet tasting. It has a delicate, silky mouthfeel, and the tart acids add plenty of cut. Pair this with grilled, broiled or pan-fried steak, served with mushrooms.

A little unripe, with some green, vegetal flavors. But it's dry, and shows enough cherry and oak richness to satisfy. The mouthfeel is nice and silky.

Held back for four years, this Pinot still is a little gritty, with some sharp edges. The cherry, cola, oak and bacon flavors have a barnyardy funkiness. Ready now.

The alcohol is nearly 16%. Yikes! And it shows, with a hot mouthfeel and a glyceriney sweetness. Too bad, because the underlying wine, with cherry, cola, cedar and spice flavors, seems fine.
