Tasting notes
Translucent ruby-red. Powerful red fruit liqueur, incense and smoky mineral aromas, along with hints of cola, candied rose and exotic spices. Alluringly sweet and expansive on the palate, offering lush raspberry, boysenberry and spicecake flavors enhanced by an undercurrent of smoky minerality. Fine-grained tannins frame and shape a powerful, floral- and spice-tinged finish that lingers with superb tenacity and lingering sweetness. 60% new oak.

The medium to deep ruby-purple colored 2016 Pinot Noir Homer opens with alcoholic heat on the nose over aromas of black and blue fruit, tilled soil and cinnamon stick. It's full-bodied with firm, grainy tannins and tons of ripe black fruit, lagging a bit in freshness and finishing with alcoholic heat. 241 cases produced.
