From start to finish reminds me more of an old world Pinot than a new world.

It’s a lighter bodied red with a beautiful ruby garnet color.

On the nose it screams raspberry and plum that carry thru to the palate with tart red Cherry and sweet cherry jumping on the flavor train.

The flavors continue with earthy notes of damp moss and fresh dirt.

The tart cherry lingers on thru to the finish.

This is a well balanced, beautifully structured wine. It has lots of depth and quite possibly, the best Sonoma Valley Pinot We have ever had.

Paired amazingly well with truffle Spread, fresh motz on crustini bread and green olives, highlighting the earthy tones and making the fruity notes POP

Pommard clone. Moderately dark reddish-purple color and clear in the glass. Notes of black cherry cola, mocha, star anise and spice. And a hint of green. Possible stem inclusion? Well balanced with both finesse and power. Very good.
