Monday, November 2, 2015 - disappointed. I know that I should not expect too much from an $18 pinot, but the vineyard (which is the source of an Arcadian pinot that I am very fond of in pretty much every vintage) amped up my hopes.
Instead, this is a serviceable (although slightly flabby) but in no way compelling pinot that reflects its price point. For me, very much below the level of the Au Bon Climat intro or a couple of others that can be found for roughly the same price.
