Good wine considering below average vintage. Medium bodied, has some of smell and bigger cola, raspberry flavor of central coast pinot but with more minerality and a cleaner structure. Pretty good wine for $30, perhaps some of other reviewers drank too early

Dark, firebrick red. Cherries, strawberries, sandalwood, dried roses, and cream on the nose. Pinpoint and lively, with a rich and pliant texture, big, bold fruit, taut minerality, and good length on the granite-infused finish.

Medium dark color, not surprising for the AVA and producer. Strawberry jam nose with tiny amount of spice. Lots of spice flavors with the strawberry and wood notes playing second chair. Nice overall wine and decent value when on sale.

nose - supperripe fruit, raisiny
mouth - big fruit, bold for a pinot, not especially refined but decent enough

Quite passable. Better next day as it was pretty tight on 1st day. By 2nd day fruit more explosive and in keeping w/RRV tradition.
