Agree with the previous notes - this is a lighter, lovely, food-friendly Pinot. I did get some stem notes, but not nearly as much as the 2012 Hansen vineyards from this producer that I recently tried. Enjoyed this, but might improve with a few more years in the cellar.

This is fine juice. Subtle, somber nose. Medium light weight and silky on the palate. Red and dark fruit. Good acid. No heat. Seamless is a word that comes to mind. Does not appear to fall into the low brix, high acid, whole cluster camp, but it doesn’t have to, and is very well balanced. A great expression of Sonoma Pinot.

13.9% alcohol, Burgundy in Cali. Balanced, well structured, food friendly Pinot. Did not decant. A nice expression of Pinot Noir.
