A very nice california pinot.....very old world style. Alot of earthiness on the nose with some secondary fruit (strawberries). The wine is well balanced with nice acidity. The finish is a bit short or the wine would have scored a little higher.

Wow. This is the most supple, caressing Barbera that you will find. It is not cheap but worthy of putting 6 bottles in your cellar to drink over the next few yrs. The texture reminded me of Pinot Noir not Barbera. The nose is wonderfully floral with underlying fruit.

a real enjoyable wine. i thought this wine was drinking perfectly right now. the nose had elements of cassis, blackberries and hints of flowers. the body of the wine had a nice mouthfeel although the finish was a bit short (or my rating would have been higher).
