March 16, 2012 - Wow! I was blown away by this wine. If blind tasted I would have guessed Kosta or Kanzler. For $23 this represent the best value in California PN I've experieced by far. So sorry that I only bought 1. Drinking amazing with brief decant in the glass. Drink now while the fruit is vibrant.

January 18, 2012 - I just love this particular Pinot Noir. A fantastic QPR with loads of taste. Fully flavored without out being overly heavy, or overpowering. Light notes of oak and chocolate with hint of blackberry on the finish.
