Purchased at the winery in 2016. Have to say the wine is still in incredible shape. Slight stewed cherry note and Raspberry on the nose with a slight cola note. Follows the nose with more raspberry flavours. Medium finish not a surprise 9 years in.

Solid PN, especially for the price. Some good Earth, very new world, but not a fruit bomb like its neighbor RRV. Label says 13.9ABV, which is a bit higher than I prefer but still lower than most CA Pinot. Well worth the purchase

Our last bottle of this fantastic value wine (Some purchased at $26, others at $20) Consistent quality each time we opened a bottle. Impressive enough in flavor and body to break out with companions on a Saturday night, but affordable enough to enjoy on a Tuesday night as well. Not necessarily an ageable wine. On to the 2015’s!

Our fourth vintage of this always satisfying offering from Handley. Bright cherry flavors with a light/medium body. Alcohol and acidity levels are spot on. Hard to beat at $23 per bottle.

Taste of Mendocino, nose of sweet and sour fruit, more red cherry than black cherry, spring flowers, and mushrooms, same on the palate, medium body, nice fruit, simple, tasty, and a medium/long finish, good QPR.

Aromas of dark fruit with pepper/clove finish. Taste adds bright cherry with soft tannins at the finish

Standard, medium-bodied, tart California Pinot. Nothing unpleasant but not particularly to my taste.
