Pale ruby colored with medium viscosity (12% ABV). The nose has medium intensity aromas of potting shed, dried cranberry, red cherry, baking spice, lingonberry, and a slight medicinal note.  The palate is dry with medium (+) acidity, a light body, and medium (-) tannins.  The flavor intensity is medium (-) but I get some nice cranberry, red cherry, lingonberry, and spice notes.  The finish is a touch sour but medium in length.  Overall a nice, lightweight rendition of Pinot Noir that will pair nicely with our Turkey dinner.  I would drink till 2028.  88 points for this $30 effort makes it a 3 star wine.  Salut….

Very pale garnet colored with copper/orange highlights and a watery sheen (12% ABV).  The nose has medium (+) intensity aromas of barnyard, funk, red cherry compote, ripe strawberry, rhubarb, baking spice, violets, green stalk and lingonberry.  The palate is dry with medium (+) acidity, a light body and low tannins.  The flavor intensity is medium (-) but very delicate and seductive.  Red fruit coupled with some funky notes and some baking spice make for an enticing and lithe wine that has great balance.  The finish is medium (-) in length which makes me grab the glass for another quick sip.  It’s a delightful sipper, not sure what I would pair with it so as to not overpower.   It ran me $25 at the winery and gets 92 points making it a 5 star effort to drink till 2030.  (I scored it 90 at the winery btw).  Salut….

Pale ruby colored with a medium (-) viscosity (12% ABV).  The nose has medium (+) intensity aromas of potting soil, cherry, strawberry, pomegranate and floral undertones with some smoky spice in the background.  The palate is dry with medium acidity, a light body and medium (-) tannins.  It’s silky and tasty!  The red fruit and earthy notes I got on the nose are prevalent with some floral hints and a bit of minerality/granite.  This is an interesting wine that sways between light and airy with a delightfully lithe mouthfeel to a weighty Pinot that shows me it has some heft before cresting back to dancing on my tongue.  It finishes long and begs for another sip.  Delicious and worthy of 93 points.  I paid $30 at the winery for this 5 star wine that can be savored till 2035.  Salut….
