   The lithe flavors of red plum, raspberry and cherry pastry feature sandalwood and cedar accents, backed by medium-grained tannins. Plump, spicy finish

   There are savory iodine and sanguine kicks to the nose of this bottling, with dried boysenberry and leather aromas as well. That earthy, meaty element carries to the sip, where dried cherry and shiitake mushroom flavors show.

   The pale to medium ruby colored 2017 Pinot Noir Sleepy Hollow Vineyard was aged ten months in 40% new French oak. It has inviting, open-knit aromas of cranberry sauce, wild blackberries, blood orange, clove and turned earth plus notes of amaro and tobacco. The silky, light to medium-bodied palate offers lovely, earth-tinged fruits with a grainy, fresh frame and long, layered finish.

   Sweet-and-sour character to this with dried strawberry, toasted-oak and lime undertones. Full to medium body, fine tannins and a creamy finish. Contrastive. Drink or hold.

   Bright red. Spice-accented scents of ripe red fruits, smoked meat and cola are lifted by a subtle floral overtone. Juicy and focused on the palate, offering appealingly sweet raspberry, rose pastille and spicecake flavors that deepen steadily on the back half. In an energetic style, with smooth tannins framing a very long, floral-tinged finish.
