Shows all the hallmarks of a fine Sonoma Coast Pinot. It’s dry, crisp in acidity, elegant in structure and complex, with an array of red berry, red currant, pine, cola, clove and sandalwood flavors. Drink now, after a brief decant.

A beautiful Pinot Noir for drinking now. It’s delicate and elegant and refined in the mouth, but rich in flavors, offering raspberry tart, red cherry pie with the crust, and dusty Indian spices that finish dry and long, with a touch of funkiness.

A fine, spicy Pinot Noir, elegant and silky. There’s lots of candied raspberry, cherry, orange zest and persimmon fruit and caramelized oak, so the wine tastes almost sweet, but it’s actually dry.

Dry and acidic, with interesting flavors of spices, wild forest red berries, cola and bacon. An exotic, low alcohol Pinot Noir that seems at its best now and for a couple years.

Elegant and rich, but too acidic, almost unnaturally, giving the wine a sour cherry and raspberry Lifesaver candy tartness. This sharpness will probably never disappear.
