So fresh! Christmas spices, fresh cherry juice, tangerine rind, pomegranate. Juicy acidity, super fine grain tannin, lovely balance.

Mighty fine Pinot Noir. Opens beautifully. Dark fruit balanced by savory notes. Good job, Ed!

Deep ruby color with alluring red fruits, chalk, damp earth and baking spice aromas. On the palate its elegant, well structured and layered with raspberry leading the way with some dried cherry, cranberry, and spice flavors with terrific minerality and acidity. Long finish.

Even better with some age. Stunning single clone, native yeast, unfiltered Pinot by @Ed Thralls Thralls Wine. Bright, vibrant, balanced.

Editor's Choice in Wine Enthusiast this month. I couldn't agree more. my fave from Ed's Pinot line up at Thralls. Black cherry and ripe cranberry, little hint of baking spices on finish. Balanced and great for food pairings.

Bucher Vineyard rocks and so does winemaker Ed Thralls. Pinot with great sense of place, dark cherries, earthiness, with deep rich color . good blend of the fruit side and earth too.

Tasty. Decanted for an hour. Vegetal on the aroma, tart cherries dominant flavor with some dried fruit as well
