The Sixth Annual Blind Tasting of American Pinot Noir (Houston, Texas): Retail $30. Medium to dark in color with a harmonious nose of solid cherry notes and a bit of spice. Great on the palate as well with rich fruit, but balanced by the zingy tartness. Wonderful. Outstanding. 94 Points.
As might be expected from a Northern California Pinot, the color is darker than expected, but with a beautiful magenta rim. The fruit is soft and approachable blueberry, mulberry and plum, with a touch of mint. Some wet earth and mushroom. Very nice balance with the alcohol, acid, fruit and tannins. More viscosity than expected. Just a touch short on the finish.

Excellent value wine. Concentrated red fruit flavors. Balanced alcohol, acidity, and oak. Velvety mouthfeel. Medium finish.
