Friday, December 14, 2012 - Typical of the Santa Barbara style. Lots of bright fruit, but this one has some interesting darker cherry notes, spice, and some hints of forest floor. Well integrated right now with a good, balanced finish. I am not as optimistic as others about it's ability to age and keep in balance.

My policy on BG Pinot, across the board is: drink now.
