14.3% abv. 300 cases. Recent auction purchase. Great, classic, RRV Pinot. Plenty of structure it seems, but nice ripe Cali fruit with a good streak of acidity. I little slight bitter note as well. Good energy and just seemed lively on the palate. I've been drinking quite a few Cali Pinot with some age in recent months and this is one of the best that I have had. Even my wife loved this, and she is not much of a Cali Pinot fan. Went very well with Corned beef and cabbage mashed potatoes. In a great drinking window now and should hold for many years to come.

Just not a fan at this time. Tried it over 2 nights. Never evolved one way or the other. Structurally sound but missing something. Not fruit forward at all.

Tart cherry and plum fruit character. Mild oak, some chalk, white pepper, and a pleasant acidity. Mild currant and tannins. Light sweetness and tannins. Medium to full body. Good but not worth the price.
