Excellent depth and complexity on the nose and palate with delicious sweet cherry, spice, and floral notes wrapped in a balanced structure with a long finish.

Popped and poured. This is a medium red wine with (for Pinot) some surprising tongue-staining intensity. On the nose, I get baking spice, yard mulch, and cranberry. In the mouth, the wine shows ripe strawberry and hard red candies. The finish is very long with a sweet-cherry echo and a lip-smacking end. Overall, this is a pure, vibrant wine, one that is an obvious product of significant effort. This is a quality Pinot, albeit one that is clearly Californian in character. 93 points.

Nicely developed. Scent of soil and meadow, some distant cherry, and dry spices. Lightweight mouthfeel. Silky. Medium length lifted finish.
Two tasters said it came across as a nicely aged old school Bordeaux but lighter in style.
