Beautiful new world Pinot nose of cinnamon, raspberry and also slight candied orange rind that I don't recall from previous tastings of this wine. Excellent medium (by new world standards) weight on the mouth. Good acidity on the finish along with some nice bitterness. Not at all over-ripe. One of the better QPRs on Santa Rita Pinot Noir that I've experienced, and very easy-to-drink enjoyable.

Cola, black cherry, spice, and a wet vegetal note that mostly dissipates with some air. Medium body, black cherry, fresh herbs, pepper, spice, cola and a tart red berry and rhubarb finish. This is drinking pretty well, mellow tannins and brisk acidity still keeping it fresh.

Consistent with previous experience, possibly even improved. Excellent nose. Raspberry rather than the darker fruits that are more typical in California pinots. Also excellent acidity sets this apart. A great food wine that paired really well with pork chops. Disagree with the community drink dates and feel this wine will drink well for many more years.

Floral and candy aromas in the mouth. May be slightly past its prime but still very nice

At home with Jill. She bought from Binny's on sale.
Really nice. Plush and ripe. Textbook SRH Pinot.
