A lighter, more elegant style of Cabernet, dry and classy. Likeable for its balance of acids, tannins, alcohol and oak, and rich blackberry, cassis and cedar flavors. Drink now.

A nice Cabernet for drinking now. It’s rich in berries, cherries, currants and oak, with smooth tannins and soft acidity. Shows an elaboration that makes it upscale and elegant.

A good Pinot Noir for everyday drinking. It’s very dry and crisp and silky in the mouth, with complex flavors of cherries, cola, licorice and beef jerky. The acidity suggests rich, oily fare, like lamb or salmon.

There are some unripe, vegetal flavors in this Pinot Noir. It’s dry and simple, although it does boast some cherry and currant flavors, and has a nice, silky texture. Ready now.

A disappointment from this well-known vineyard that’s been source to many great Pinots. This wine is so sharp, it’s almost like raspberry vinaigrette.
