Nice Cali Pinot with sweet red fruit on top of a mildly acidic backbone and light tannins. Nothing special about this wine, but a good everyday Pinot. Should hold up for at least another few years.

Not a big fan of this wine and its flavor profile. This is a more Martinelli style pinot, where it tastes Zin like in many way with the sweet grenadine fruit forward overpowering any semblance of other flavors or complexity. If you like balanced pinots with more earth, minerals, tannin, not overly alchoholic, you probably won't like this one. Definitely not a traditional Sonoma Coast appelation, where i expect a more balanced style.

Despite being decanted and drunk after a few hours in decanter somewhat sharp and bitter on aftertaste

Beautiful nose of cherry and cola. Anise, spice, and bright red fruit throughout. Great balance, wonderful finish. A very very good Pinot!!!
