  It's all about caramel. Needs about 2 hours of breathing.

  Rich and spicy fruit for the 1st bottle half then much more classic Pinot flavors for last half which tells me the wine is still on its way up. Give it another year for more complexity but it's pretty good now. Very nice balance and length.

  Raspberries, black cherries, and roasted herbs in a full-bodied, smooth finishing wine

  Color bright red with red fruits on the nose. Taste of strawberry and raspberry balanced with some earthy notes and smooth tannins. Santa Maria Valley Pinots are always some of my favorites.

  This drank on the hot side, maybe more like zesty. Fruit secondary to earthy notes. Still a good bottle.
