This was a nice pinot in that more saturated style that Walt does. I thought the balance was nice and it had some nice flavors, cherry and even a little dark fruit, with some baking spice for me.

Massive California Pinot with a lot of oak extraction — enjoyable if not terribly exciting? Certainly well constructed if a bit one-note. Loamy forest floor, vanilla, and cappuccino notes on the nose. Fruit seems heavily concealed by the oak, but some blueberry notes eking through. Palate is big but well balanced with moderate tannin and healthy acid that create a rich mouthfeel. Just wish there was a bit more complexity here.

Good - but not sure it was worth the price - maybe around $40...

Decanted for 30 minutes. Smooth full-bodied pinot with a mix of dark and red fruit, and medium tannin and acid.
