Holding up brilliantly. Super clean and ripe red fruits are front and center in their wine. Great spices combine with a touch of amaretto notes to produce a very nice fruit driven pinot with some added complexity. Balanced and well integrated right now. Excellent

Not a lot going on here. A simple bottle of PN that has a fair amount of acid to go with the rich food that I had with this. Nothing memorable. Will have to try this winery again to see if this is their style.

Fantastic. Medium red color makes it look like it will be a thin pinot, but this one is full-bodied and bursting with flavor. Lots of acidity, with tart cherries, a bit of earth and mushroom, and a smoky finish.

I think this wine is transitioning. It has lost a little of the funk but the finish is developing. I'd sit on this and let it develop.

Love the Sonoma Coast funk. Earthy with mushrooms and red fruits. This wine is right in my wheelhouse.
