Deep maroon color. Chocolate and nut skin aromas. Boones Farm sweet entry. Cola and cranberry marry. This tastes like cocktail wine. Lively acidity, but it still doesn't taste fresh. Big, oaky. Short, sharp finish. I've loved some from this producer, but this is spoofilated. 77

Solid clean mild Pinot Noir, decent moderate red color.. Whatever oak there is is very integrated. Good acid and even tannin, lush finish. Overall very nice.

No more Martini clone at the SLH ranch. Ripped out and now Dijon and some Pommard. Again, labeled Monterey, but all Estate SLH fruit. Big and rich fruit on the nose. Big and rich sweet fruit. This is 100% PN. Big fruit, but with pleasantly balanced acid.

Really enjoy this. A little sweeter than most Pinots. Ripe berries, nice tannins.

Cherries, spices. Much, much, much better than the bottle I opened mid 2016 (see review). Still decanted and it got even better. Very enjoyable.

Meh... rather flat on the tongue. Not real interesting initially but the finish seems to bring you back in. Good fruit. May need a little more time.

Too young. Very tight. Aerated and let sit for an hour and still very tight. Will wait at least a year before opening next.

Black and red fruit with some dill on the nose. Fruit, rich, power, works it out.
