  Really nice pinot flavors in the high tone red fruit range. The nose has great lift of strawberry, cherries, and rhubarb. The palate displays a nice mix of richness and tension from the acidity. Entering a very nice drinking window.

  Lovely Pinot perfume on the nose. Big burst of red fruits, raspberry, and some earthy notes. The nose really is reminiscent of a good quality Oregon Pinot (think St. innocent). Rich palate but nicely balanced with acidity and some sweetness from the fruit. A great effort.

  Excellent color and nose. Delicious with nice lingering finish of currants.

  elzer cancer society charity dinner. steve is related in some manner (cousin?) to the winemaker. fun to try, it's a medium body, light colored pinot that is well balanced and soft. a very nice food wine, and i don't mean for that comment to sound like "she's got a great personality (but she's really ugly)." it's a welcome change to see somebody going for this style. no doubt the cooler climate of caneros has contributed to the profile. i got (mis)quoted in berserkers about this wine. the marcassin bondi is a more interesting, more complex pinot, but i found much to embrace in the campesino. worth a look. good luck with the project.
