April 13, 2023 - I have been drinking this vintage for about 2 years now and it has been great. It was my go to pinot for the price if i want a mid week wine. I must say it's on the down side now. It has lost some of it's luster and if you have any left i would drink it up. I will definitely keep buying the newer vintages because it's a great pinot for the price.

April 26, 2022 - So a foray into Cali Pinot this week....
On nose: smoke , oak and cherry pits.
On palate: all above notes, with bramble, cloves and damp earth, " trying" to chime in...
I say this because the 14.5% alcohol swamps the fruit and other notes with its persistence....clearly a very hot Summer in this region, in this vintage perhaps specifically.......more a cool climate Pinot Noir, New Zealand PN and Burgundy fan....over 20 years, I have found only ONE Cali Pinot that hit the mark for me....a 2004 Hanzell tasted back in 2010....and there you have it. -

January 9, 2022 - This wine never ceases to amaze us - the price versus the quality (QPR) and how early the drinking window opens. Had it with whole chicken in the smoker and sides, and what a great pairing! (grilled salmon, also). This is just past 4 years and is in an ideal drinking window. 100% varietally correct; fruit is neither too robust or timid, everything balanced.
Have to rate this as one of the best red wines for the money, year in and year out.1 person found this helpful Comments (1)
