[35% Tempranillo, 28% Grenache, 21% Tannat, 14% Syrah, 2% Cabernet Sauvignon] Still dark purple color, dark fruit and earthy aromas and flavors, some nice depth and balance and also lots of structure, I’d call this quite an unique Sierra Foothills red due to the cepage, seems like it will last quite a while, kudos to Hank!! — 7 months ago
Started a bit closed but then opened up and revealed nice dark fruit and some forest floor. Definitely can wait longer. With Mikey G on NYE — 3 months ago
Light red in color with light intensity.
Fruity nose of bing cherries, red candy, light wood and chocolates.
Medium-bodied with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with cherries, raspberries, sweet strawberries, light oak, spices, earth, herbs and light green vegetables.
Tangy finish with soft tannins and raspberries.
This 3-year-old Pinot Noir from Oregon is starting to drink nicely now, but still very young. Needs 3 to 5 years in the bottle to mature properly.
Good right out of the bottle, and better after 30 minutes.
This Single Vineyard Pinot Noir is showing nice complexity with a soft mouth feel. Elegant, easy drinking and good by itself or with food.
12.9% alcohol by volume.
90 points.

Reddish in color with light intensity.
Medium bodied with medium plus acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing raspberries, sweet strawberries, cherish, earth, light wood, spices, dark chocolates, herbs and black pepper.
This 8 year old Pinot Noir from Oregon is drinking very nicely now. Complex and interesting. Feels like a lightly aged Burgundy.
Good right out of the bottle, and gets earthier as it opens. Will continue to drink nicely in the next few years.
I had a few vintages of this wine and it is very consistent.
Elegant and good by itself or with food.
13.5% alcohol by volume.

Sipping Fine Wine
Deep Ruby color with aromas of black fruits, cedar, citrus, herbs and floral spice. On the palate flavors of cherry and strawberry with cola, floral and sweet cinnamon herb spice notes. Full-bodied, fine tannins, long finish ending with fruit, slight oak, herbs and a savory earthy mineral character. Nice! Decant! — 8 hours ago
