Very pretty Pinot from one of our favorite South Coast producers. The color is deep purple. Nose light, unassuming. Taste begins with a nice balance of fruit and acidity. Moderately complex flavors, mostly fruit with a bit of earth and hardwood. Medium finish. Just overall nicely crafted.

Still going strong 20 years in. Slight brick coloring but inky purple in the bowl. Plenty fruity and earthy aromas. Lush mouthfeel, tannins rounded but present. Pretty high alcohol level (14.5%!) but not overblown. Not going to win any awards for subtlety, but a very good well-aged wine and perfect with a hearty, beefy meal.

Blackberry bramble cassis caterwaul! Nice, still plenty tannins, rounded edges
