Wonderful wine. Popped and poured. Nose of raspberry, cherry, vanilla. Taste similar to nose with a hint of earth. Nice, medium finish. Good acid level. One of my favorites.

Garnet red. Sour cherry and herbed venison on the nose. Palate is a more mellow red fruit and some savory characteristics (maybe mushroom?) followed by oak/baking spices and medium tannins. Lingers for a bit. Definitely one of the better Pinots coming out of the Santa Cruz Mountains!

13.5% abv. Light ruby, moderately expressive aromas. Red cherry, raspberry and cranapple highlight a lively palate impression. Good intensity, moderate depth and length. Good near-term Pinot.

This cuvee is in a wonderful place right now. It tastes a lot like the Reserve Pinot from Windy Oaks. I'm thinking that it's at or near its peak.
Wonderful pinot! Jim and Judy hit a home run with this wine.
