Winemaker notes: Our 2008 Pinot Nero is full of ripe cherry and cranberry aromas with overtones of spice, rose petals and wood smoke. Flavors are bright at entry, deepening to a lush vanilla-tinged mid-palate and lingering through the silky finish.
Nice big Napa Cab. Very smooth soft tannins. Hints of chocolate and cherry. RP calls it ” It is a hedonistic fleshpot of a wine”
By far my favorite Napa Cabernet Franc. Rich, complex and spicy
“Medium garnet hue. Inviting scents of black cherry, mocha and raspberry with hints of leather and menthol. Vibrant acidity and juicy flavors of raspberry and cassis bolstered by robust tannins. Layered, lingering finish of espresso, mint and wild cherry.” WN – 91
“Dense, muscle-bound and loaded with cracked pepper. Offers aromas of huckleberry, raspberry and fresh sage, with tightly wound loam, pencil lead and licorice flavors that finish with rustic tannins” WS -90
