December 12, 2013 - Probably a little past it's drinking period. Was light and fruit was past prime. Had had this a year or so ago and it was better.

June 23, 2011 - Full fruited and big on the palate, with Pinot spice across the palate. Big wine here, but not overdone, holds itself nicely. The oak could resolve out a little bit but hey, its 2008. Works at $24.
Bill Foley apperently owns 55% of all of Santa Rita Hills Vineyards. Not sure what that is saying exactly. -

June 8, 2011 - Dark in color for Pinot. Cherry flavors and fruit forward. Had at Sutro's in Cliff House, San Francisco.

May 24, 2011 - Cherry, blueberry. A lot of fruit but somehow restrained and balanced. Seamless acidity and a touch of tannin and earthiness. I'm taken by this although I don't think this fits the typical Pinot Noir profile. It is also much more opaque than most Pinot Noirs.
