No one would mistake this for Burgundy, Oregon, or Sta Rita Hills. That said, this is obviously well made for its style. Lush on the nose. A touch of cherry cola, but mostly very ripe dark cherries and spice. Similar on the palate, but finishes with a pleasant pine. Very fine tannins, decent acidity. This feels like it's at peak, but should also hold for a while too.

Very nice. Agree with Boulderwine's notes. Finish was not as polished as I would have liked. May another year in the bottle will soften it up a little.

Lovely, floral nose. Medium bodied, with a bright red cherry flavor augmented by hints of sage. Medium finish. Gorgeous summer red to be enjoyed with your barbecue or next to your evening fire pit.

Pinot Days San Francisco, nose of red fruit, raspberry, sage, and dusty earth, same on the palate, tasty, fairly fruit forward, needs 2 years to peak, medium body, tastes a little short on fruit, mouth filling but not rich enough, and a medium/long finish.

Not over the hill but not my style any more, too much cherry cola for my current taste.

I agree with WENDYINWLV that this has improved with another year of aging. Soft, cherry fruit and better integration. A pleasant wine.

Drank over two nights. Nice depth of fruit but a bit tart on the finish. Some oak shows through as well. Likely better with food.
