  Nice complexity. Depth with tannin and cranberry.

  Nose of cranberries, sea salt, and almost some apple skin. Lighter bodied on the balance with more pure cranberry, crunchy unripe berries, salinity and a touch of orangey-citrus. Pleasant and well made Pinot that doesn’t try to mask its simplicity with any tricks — just feels food friendly and straight forward.

  Wine was a gift. Served at room temperature with dual entrees of Veal Piccata & Braised Beef Short Ribs.
  
  Lovely, clear Ruby Red on the Pour. Nose of Cherries, with Cherry and Raspberry on the palate. Light-bodied, smooth, well-rounded tannin, combined with good acid balance to provide a pleasing lingering finish. 13.3% abv. Paired exceptionally well with both the lighter Veal Dish & the Beef Short Ribs.
  
  A good example of a well-crafted California Pinot Noir that I'll seek out on my own.

  Cranberry, cherry, violet, baking spice, cola, dusty oak vanilla. Paired with the leftovers of "Chicken Pinot Noir with wild mushrooms and fresh basil" as the drew, this one seemed slightly riper, but also paired well.
