It was a good solid Pinot for the money. Three of us drank it over dinner and enjoyed it. We paired it with a good cab and it still stood out on its own.

Napa & Sonoma favorites in 3 short days...; 9/21/2012-9/24/2012 (Napa & Sonoma Valley wineries): Tasting room pour. Medium ruby color, fading to a lighter rim, with med/fast legs. Notes of tobacco, forest floor, and a nice spice on the nose. Flavors or red cherry and some plum (maybe a bit overripe?), a bit simple and straightforward profile leading into a moderately complex, short/med length finish. The medium level of acidity could use a bit of a boost, and the tannins are slightly angular and astringent, pulling down my score a few points. Should drink well through 2017 or so.

Definite cherry notes with a hint of tobacco.

solid pinot. Bright cherry aromas, added forest floor, spice and cranberry when tasted. Better than I expected
