Ripe raspberry and strawberry aromas. Sweet black cherry and black tea on the palate. Rich, round entry but a slightly bitter and alcoholic finish. A solid effort but not my favorite of their small lot pinots.

Just fabulous. Rich nose of baking spice, pie crust, black cherry, raspberry, and pine needle. On the palate, sweet black cherry, with hints of anise and bubblegum. Pleasingly spicy and long finish, lively acidity on the tongue. Hitting all the right notes tonight.

A hot, high alcohol mess tonight. Was good 2 year ago but sadly has gone down his big time. Flat and one dimensional with tons of heat. No finish. Horrible waste of money.

Still holding up well with nice fruit and structure. Classic St. Rita Hills!
