Spectacular wine. Beautiful sweet cherry, spice, and eucalyptus on the nose. Sweet tannins and smoke on the palate. Has a long finish on this very new-worldish and California pinot. This is what I live for in Cali pinots!

This wine may earn the distinction of converting me to Pinot's...the wine itself did not truly stand out until paired with a series of five different cheeses...the creamier the cheese...the meatier the wine developed until it created a pate' like experience. This wine gets the credit of giving me thoughts on how to approach Pinot in the future...here, here...

Excellent. Chose it as the best of eight pinots in a blind tasting that included a fairly expensive Burgundy. Strawberry & rhubarb on the nose. Palate is cherry, dark fruit, plum, spice & eucalyptus. A dry wine, but very slightly sweet-ish in flavor and definitely New World in style. 91-92 pts.
