We're migrants, spending part of the year in Hawaii and part in upstate New York. When on the Islands, we enjoy drinking Pinot because it's (surprisingly) cheaper here than back East. This is not the best we've had, but very appropriate to the climate. As many have said, a "summer wine." Not a brooding Pinot, but a light, fruity glass to drink with manchego and Brie (yes, you really can find cheese on the Islands) while sitting under our hanging bromeliad gardens. It's a great wine to serve to folks who do not usually drink wine. And at $17, a good value.

Rich, lucious, jammy with lots of depth. What we have come to expect from this vineyard and this did not disppoint. We find it one of the best valuew in Santa Maria Valley Pinot.

Last of 22 bottles from this vintage. Still showing really well with dark fruit notes. Wish I bought another case especially since I was very disappointed in the 2012 bottling.

Surprised anyone kept one of these around, and this bottle doesn't speak well for the effort. More about vegetables than fruit at this point.
