Thanks Geoff

Tim - Thanks for the offer. Glad to get some of this (through another Berserker so you won’t see an order from me). Can you comment on your thoughts on drinking windows?

Hi Steve,

Thanks for jumping in on the offer.

2013- Being a newer planting you would think this one might tire soonish. This has the highest acidity of all the wines which seems to be holding it in a really great spot right now. How long it has depends on how you like aged CA pinot noir- it has great tertiary components now and I think it will stand up for another 3-5 year- maybe longer but there isn’t much of a vineyard history to base the judgement upon.

2014 Riddle- also drinking well now, more primary and secondary- drink now - 2020

2015- this one is tightly packed and opens up when given plenty of air. Check in on them now to see if you dig it and then grab more to lay down if you like the style. Should enter its finest days 4-6 post vintage and hang in there for quite a while.

We bottle age for a year post bottling so they present well upon release.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Tim

Thanks Tim
