Ruby with fresh berry fruit aromas with just a touch of spice. On the palate strawberry and plum flavors, soft texture and great mouthfeel. Tannins are smooth, well balanced, bright and crisp. The winery describes this as "Bottled Springtime", I can see why. Medium finish ending with floral notes. Tasting Sample.

Nice California PN. Have had better from California but not many. Done in classic cool climate French style but prefer Oregons from USA. Good, can find better for price.

Cherry, oak, and roses on the nose. Cherry, raspberry, a hint of oak, with a bit of mushroom on the mid palate. Balanced acidity with integrated tannins.
