  Fresh aromas of raspberry and cherry are slightly earthy. This shows purity and balance on the palate, while flavors of strawberry, raspberry and red plum come with chocolaty oak and mild spice. A dry finish tastes of oak-driven chocolate and crushed black pepper.

  Floral red-berry aromas show well. This is zesty and energetic on the tongue, with oaky flavors of raspberry and cherry. This is from a warm year, so it has some sweetness to go with fuel-worthy acidity. Just 160 cases made.

  Dark, dense and very modern in style, with captivating aromas and obvious richness. At 14.5%, this is big, New World Pinot Noir. But its flavors of black cherry, raspberry and cola nut are elevated and brush up against world class. With a cool finish, steady acidity and tannins,…
