A good representative Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot with some spice, plenty of berry fruit, heft and 14.2% alcohol. Just a hint of a slight medicinal taste in the finish. Improves with air. This is the first vintage made after Gallo's acquisition of the winery and vineyards. Tasted several times. Will improve with a few more years.

Nose: Pleasant aromas of moss and herbs. Palate: Good acid levels with cherries and some oak hints on the finish. Yummy cheapie Pinot that Talbott always does a good job on.

Very good for a screwcap everyday PN. Cherry, brown spices, full of fruit, decent finish. Great QPR.

More modern, toasty and foresty notes on the nose, palate is medium bodied, finishes average. Some acid, but not lean, it's a good modern pinot.
