Pale yellow. Flinty, lemon/lime nose with a hint of herbs. Crisp and exhilarating on the palate, lemon confit, minerals, a hint of tropical fruits, no grassiness. Bracing acidity, great balance. Finishes long, subtle and minerally. A lovely Sauv Blanc with a subtle elegance. Drink next 4 years.

Dark cherry red with an even translucence across the surface. earthy forest floor with cherry notes on the nose. Smooth and polished on the palate, black cherries, vibrant strawberry, lovely spice accents. Gine, lovely tannins, bright acidity, beautiful balance. Finishes long and gradual, black cherries, bit of black pepper. Gorgeous Pinot Noir and at peak. Drink next 5 years

Translucent cherry red, slightly murky. Faint floral nose. Bit harsh on the palate, raspberry, cherry. The alcohol is obvious (15.3% ABV). Harsh tannins, overly acidic and out-of-balance. Finishes moderately long and hot. Not a good example of Pinot Noir now or when it was released.
