"Fresh wine! An early release Pinot Noir that’s forward on raspberry and spice, with vibrant acidity, easy oak toast and a long spicy finish that satisfies. No doubt it’ll be hitting the shelves soon -- don't bet on it being there long."- Rich Cook, Wine Review Online - 2018 vintage

"Excellent, Highly Recommended. Smoked meat, crushed roses and violet essence are aromatically intriguing. Soft, rich, and expressive, flavors of fresh raspberries gently mesh with lightly herbal tarragon, and a hint of smokiness. The tannins are soft, like buttery leather."- Ultimate Wine Challenge - 2018 vintage

"A dark cherry, toasty oak and fall spice expression that satisfies. There is a nice bright acid streak keeping things knit together through the long finish. Serve this with something from the red meat side."- Rich Cook, Wine Review Online - 2016 vintage

"A shy aroma of cherries and subtle spice slowly work out of the glass and into the nose, until a playful medley of flavors approaches confidently. Flavors of ripe strawberry, bright cherries, smashed raspberries, and a whisper of oak mingle before a subtly spicy finish."- Ultimate Wine Challenge - 2013 vintage
