It stormed out of the gates with aromas of strawberry and pink peppercorn. Wow, what a statement! And then the performance mellowed - coy about revealing more, especially on the palate. Eventually, air did coax out beautiful floral, white pepper, clove, plum, and even tea aromas. The palate however was as stubborn as a mule, offering just bright cherries and sometimes blackberries, on a silky light-to-medium body. As easy as this was to drink, you'd be as foolish as we were not to give it enough time to reveal all it's facades. An impressively complex wine from an underrated variety. — 3 years ago
Mule berry on the nose. Good flavor of flowers and tea berry. Leather and sweet licorice. Yum. Great siper. Nice red berry and cherry finish. — 4 years ago
Some went into the lamb shanks and we drank the rest.
Loved the berry in the nose and on the palate. Incredible an hour after opening--soft and rich, tannins adding character without stepping on the taste buds. — 3 months ago
Fabulous nose. Plum and Honey suckle. Mule berry mouth feel, smooth early. Nice earth tones with fruit late. Leather late which accentuates the Pinot Noir grape to its fullest. Perfect with a grilled Delmonico. — 2 years ago
