Moderately light golden yellow color in the glass. This wine really sings with appealing
aromas of lemon curd and apple and bright lemon flavor accented with notes of pear, peach, herbs and
very subtle oak. Very clean and crisp and thoroughly enjoyable, even exceptional.

Moderately light reddish purple hue in the glass. Very flowery nose initially, becoming more serious over
time with scents of black cherry and wood spice. Intriguingly silky on the mid weight palate, featuring fresh
flavors of black cherry and black raspberry with undertones of spice, stem and oak, finishing with modest
intensity.

Medium garnet color in the glass. The nose
is really enticing, offering scents of briar, red cherry, and violets, but the
flavors are remarkable. Red and black cherries, red plums. brewed tea
and spice coat the mouth and finish with a peacock tail of glorious note.
The finish lasts at least a minute, returning several times for an encore.
In addition, the wine is seductively soft and smooth on the palate with a good cut
of underlying mineral-driven acidity. The whole package. Drink or hold.

Medium
reddish-purple hue in the glass. Alluring aromas of black cherry, toasty new oak, brier and tobacco. Delicious
essence of black cherry pie glaze that coats the mouth and holds on indefinitely for a peacock finish of
uncommon length. Still sporting sinewy tannins that need time to soften and integrate. A big gulp of Pinot.
Hold.

Moderately dark reddish-purple color in the glass. Aromas of forest floor, ripe black cherries, and spicy oak.
Vibrant plum, black raspberry and black cherry fruits that are backed by lively acidity. There is a bit of the
forest mulch in this wine. Oak is a noticeable adjunct but integrates over time in the glass. The fruit is really
stunning and hangs on for dear life on the long finish. Very good.
