    This looks to be reasonably long-lived, as it's firm but fine. Cherries, mushrooms and toasty oak mingle easily around a backbone of silky tannins and crisp acids. Drink 2016–2022.

    This is a pretty, lightweight wine marked by peppery accents. Those give it an almost Syrah-like quality, although the weight and texture is all Pinot. Red cherry and spice flavors finish lacy and dusty. Ready to drink now.
