Garnet color. Aromas and flavors of red and black cherries, dark chocolate cocoa powder, cherry, raspberry, pomegranate reduction, and herbs with a round, vibrant, dry medium body and a warming, interesting, medium length finish with elements of chocolate covered brandied cherries, black tea, and plum sauce with well-integrated, silky tannins and a suggestion of oak flavor. Rich, ripe, bold red berries dripping with chocolate would be the perfect pairing with this classic Russian River Valley Pinot.

Dark in profile, with plum and maraschino cherry notes pumping through. While the fruit flavors are mixed with a noticeable dose of toast, this has the energy for balance, revealing licorice and apple wood accents on the finish. Drink now through 2027. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 1,003 cases made.

With a color as deep as a Cabernet and plenty of jazzy black cherry aromas, this full-bodied wine makes a big first impression. Firm tannins and good fruit acidity give a lively structure to support the delicious black-fruit flavors. It's a good idea to let it mature some more. Best from 2025–2032.
