Give this young wine a decanting to let some initial mustiness blow off. Afterwards, it’s soft and earthy, with a sweet core of black cherries and oak. Should develop over the next 4–5 years.

Dry, spicy and elegantly structured, this is a little rugged around the edges in texture, but the black raspberry and cola flavors are savory.

This is a softly appealing yet ultimately simple wine. It’s flamboyant in flavor, suggested buttered white toast, spread with raspberry jam and sprinkled with cinnamon. Ready now.

Dry and tart in sour cherry candy and cola flavors, this Pinot has hints of mint and tobacco that suggest the grapes weren’t completely ripe. Drink now.
