Santa Cruz Mountain Trip (Windy Oaks, Alfaro Family, Big Basin): Tasted at the winery. Light ruby color (lighter than their 'A' Pinot Noir). Red fruits and nutmeg aromas. Bright red fruits upfront. There definitely some spice there, but it’s not as prominent as the 'A'. Overall, this is just more balanced. Wish the finish were a little longer, but still a solid wine.
