Tasting notes
Hot dry year but not overripe. New block. Pale crimson. Violets on the nose. Lovely sweet fruit with just a slight rusty-nail quality on the end. Dry finish. Complex but delicate. (JR)

Very pale and fresh with delicate fruit and real bottom to it. Fans out on the finish like a peacock's tail. Still a bit of tannic bitterness on the finish. The (lightish) aromas are in the vegy/beetrooty spectrum at present. (JR)
Medium ruby-purple colored, the 2013 Pinot Noir has a beautiful nose of roses and violets with lavender inflections over a core of red cherries, cranberries and black raspberries. Light to medium-bodied, it fills the mouth with elegant red berry and earthy flavors supported by very fine grained tannins and seamless acidity, finishing long and complex.
