Classic Russian River Pinot Noir, dry and silky and tart with acids. It’s delicious in sour cherry candy, persimmon and sandalwood flavors, with a long, spicy finish. Not an ager, but lovely for drinking now with steak, tuna, salmon, lamb.

Shows the firm tannins of this mountain appellation, and also ripe, concentrated blackberry, cassis and dark chocolate fruit. Easy to drink now for its rich appeal, but should age well for six years or so.

A clean, brisk Sauvignon Blanc with lots of complex interest. It’s dry, but rich in citrus, tropical fruit and honeysuckle flavors, with a tantalizing hint of gooseberry.
