  Red fruit dominate but a diff type of red fruit. Not as pungent of a red fruit the taste is a more tamed version than most of the pinots i get from the new world wine. Very soft an lite tannins. I like this wine an I’m less of a Pinot fan. Great job.
  
  Day 2 not the same nose as the day prior Still a lil sharp on the red fruit smell on the nose Not as beautiful on the palate either. The finish builds after swallowing it Kind of sharp on the sweeter red fruit flavor Not as tender on the palate as the day prior. I’d rather drink this immediately than give it a day of air and relaxation

  High toned red bing cherry, pomegranate, and cranberry fruit. Burgundian in style with higher acidity than I would expect from a $35 bottle of California Pinot. Some orange rind on the finish. Reminds me of Anna’s block from Melville. Great value wine!

  The Sixth Annual Blind Tasting of American Pinot Noir (Houston, Texas): Retail $45. Medium color with a very lovely nose of Bing cherry and earth. Nice. The palate is harmonious and tasty with solid fruit and great balance. Whoa. Outstanding. 94 Points.

  Medium-light garnet in color. Full, forward & fragrant nose of ripe fruit aromas of cherries, strawberries & plums with overtones of spices notes & floral notes, earthy/dusty, minerals & a hint of oak/vanilla in the background. Medium bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, ripe fruit flavors of cherries, strawberries & plums with spices, minerals & a hint of oak/vanilla. Lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present with extended airing but should continue to develop further with additional aging at which time it may merit a higher score (92+). It is more nuanced and delicate than the 2021 version.
