Had this about a year ago, founded by 3 friends Noah Dorrance, Baron Ziegler, & Steve Graf who shared a lifelong dream of owning their own winery. First vintage of Pinot Noir, produced in 2009 was sold out in 3 months. Deep color with red berry fruit aromas & notes of sweet floral scents. On the palate ripe red plum, currant & cherry flavors with complex spice. Smooth tannins good balance with acidity, medium+ ending with a mineral character. Drink now, starting to lose its freshness.
