This 2015 Pinot noir offers aromas of roasted spices, black raspberries, lilacs, dark loam, and bramble. Flavor follows with notes of cocoa nibs, toasted anise seed, and black cherry. Textures are rich and silky, with supple acidity. This wine has a lingering finish.

Good dark red-ruby. Slightly inky aromas of blackberry, licorice and menthol, with a note of olive tapenade emerging with air. Suave and fine-grained on entry, then a smooth midweight in the middle palate, showing a hint of peppery lift to its black fruit flavors. Not a particularly fleshy wine, this shows a slightly medicinal quality, restrained sweetness and good vinosity. Finishes with sneaky length, pepper and olive tapenade notes, and firm, dusty tannins that avoid dryness. This moderately ripe but lively wine should evolve gracefully – Stephen Tanzer.

Flavor profile = Red cherry syrup, roasted chanterelles, framboise.

Pairs well with cider braised pork shoulder with roasted garlic polenta.

Deep, bright-rimmed scarlet. Highly perfumed cherry, raspberry and floral scents are complemented by suggestions of cola and exotic spices. Juicy and energetic on the palate, offering vibrant red and blue fruit, rose pastille and spicecake flavors that slowly deepen through the midpalate. Shows fine definition and spicy lift on the impressively persistent finish, which leaves a suggestion of smoky minerality behind.. Josh Raynolds.

The ARTEMIS Cabernet Sauvignon delivers expressive aromas of ripe raspberry, dark cherry and blackberry along with hints of cedar and spice. The mid-palate is pleasant and round with flavors of dark chocolate, plum, dried fruit and toasted oak. The finish is rich and lingering.

Aromas of blackberry, black currant and anise with hints of oak spice and almond butter.

The Justice is an athletic, muscular wine that will require some cellaring to reach its full potential.

A passionate expression of a great Lodi Pinot Noir. This wine creates a lasting impression with substantial flavours and aromas, yet has a delicate palate. Perfectly balanced, medium bodied flavours of black cherry and currant accented with a hint of spiciness. Deliciously smooth, rich and velvety for a sensational finish. This wine is wonderful straight out of the bottle, but has the complexity to improve over several years.
