This is a very nice wine drunk at the right time. There is some of the deep sweet cherry/cough medicine fruit I associate with West Coast Pinot mixed with some more subtle earthy elements. Dr Pepper. The palate is more refined with good acidic balance. Actually works quite well with food. I enjoy this but don’t love it. (90)

This is some wine. Turbo white burgundy. Golden color. Knockout nose - ripe pear and green melon fruit with a lemon twist and mineral sprinkle. Dialed to 11. Likewise, the palate is explosive and driven but not heavy. There is energy to buffer the extract that is just magic. Long finish. I feel this is at peak. I am sure it can continue to age but why wait. Thrilling. (96)

Cloudy magenta color - looks like unfiltered cherry juice. Glorious nose of high-toned red berry/cherry fruit, coffee grounds and wild herbs. Mid-90’s nose. The palate is a bit of a letdown. Light bodied. Pretty yes, but kind of weak. Almost blah. I like the feel - it’s mature with that nice Pinot sweetness. Just not enough of it. (90)
