My better half who doesn't really care for pinot said '90' when I asked for a rating, so this is a strong 90! Lots of red cherries/cranberries/strawberries on the nose and palate with some earth and vanilla thrown in. Nice long finish. It was good to wait some time before having this bottle as it's much better than the previous one. Nice job, Tami!!

Thanksgiving ... I had turkey breast and she had pecan crusted salmon and the wine was great with both. Tart bing cherries on the nose and palate with a little vanilla and spice thrown in and nice acidity. Very nice!!

Beautiful pinot color in the glass. Bright red cherries and a little cola on the nose and palate with cherries and vanilla on the palate. The acidity is a little sharp, so the balance isn't quite there for this bottle. We had a bottle at a friend's house a month ago and it was better.

This is a pinot for people who like their pinots to taste like cabs! Big and bold, but soft enough to pair well with a low country boil.
Always good value from Sapphire Hill.
