Many classic characteristic of a Pinot at a terrific price point. Very well crafted wine with a still a bright fruity nose and ripe cherries on the palate. Really enjoyable. Maybe it's only weakness was a slight thinning in the finish.

My never ending search for daily drinker domestic pinots led me to this, but it lacked a distinctive flavor profile and overall was quite ordinary. On to the next candidate!

Took this wine to a Pinot tasting party New Year's Eve. Four of the attendees are winemakers themselves and the others were all pinot lovers. This wine won overall favorite out of 4 different bottles. Everyone really loved this wine and when the bottle was done, there were frowns around the table.

Classic pinot. Cherry, oak, good acidity, soft tannins. Quite enjoyable.

Good quality for price. Nice red fruit flavors though on the thin side.

Silky, rich and spicy. A signature Carneros Pinot Noir. Ripe cherries, cedar and mineral notes. Well defined and nicely balanced.

light and bright, yet balanced between mineral and fruit.

Not a classic California Pinot but very pleasant. Smooth, not heavy in the fruit. GV at under $20.

Smooth, not overly sweet. Paired perfectly with the honey glazed and Rosemary spiced roast leg of lamb.
