A good, polished Pinot for drinking now. It's brisk in acidity and has a hint of green mint, but the raspberry, cherry and cedar flavors are delicious.
Hard and tough in tannins now, with a dry astringency. It's a good, balanced Cabernet, with very rich blackberry, currant and chocolate flavors, but those gritty tannins are difficult. Give it a few…

On first impact, the wine is earthy smelling with dim tones of Brie and Camembert. Wait a few minutes, and spicy blueberry notes to appear. Overall, this is a simple, no-fuss wine that would pair wel…
With an edge of sweet red currants and slightly sugared herb tea, this Zin can't really be called completely dry. But the tannin-acid balance is very fine, and makes the wine balanced and enjoyable.…
The blend is Sangiovese, Cabernet and Merlot, and this, the estate's second wine, is a less intense, less sophisticated interpretation, with lingering notes of bright fruit and light smoke.

Nice and familiar, and very much in the sweet, creamy style. There's almond candy and caramel on the palate and then maple syrup on the finish. Soft and sweet throughout, with just enough acidity and…
Mature and a little waxy on the nose; this is a plump, fruity, semisoft wine with apple, pineapple and melon flavors. It's round and fairly mild, with plenty of taste, width and drinkability. Drink s…
