    Dilute yet raisiny aromas struggle to stir interest. This wine feels wide and flat on the palate, with no real focal point. Chunky, slightly bitter flavors of apple skins and wood spice finish with a blast of oaky clove.

  • 2015

    Fresh, fruity cherry, citrus and rose aromas are light and airy. This feels a bit raw and scratchy, while currant, red plum and brown sugar flavors finish juicy, snappy and uncushioned. This has all the requirements of a good picnic Pinot Noir.

  • 2014

    This rusty colored Pinot opens with aromas of cherry candy and chocolate. There's power to the palate, but also abruptness. Dry, spicy flavors of chocolate, raspberry and orange rind carry over to a direct finish.

  • 2013

    Dried raspberry, leather and spiced cherry aromas are basic. This has a bouncy, light mouthfeel and quick-to-dissipate flavors of dried cherry and earth. A simple finish fades fast, leving a mild raisiny aftertaste.
