Soft cork gave some concern…broke apart. Wondered about storage…
Nose of raisin and soy sauce…needs 30 mins of air. Starts a bit disjointed and candied . Really improves with air ….comes into a harmonious blend of cherry, raspberry, kiwi, spice. Concentrated and pretty well made ….

High alcohol (14.7) shows on the nose and tongue, then high cherry fruit. Disappears at mid-palette, little finish. If you like it hot and cherry, this is your wine. Not my style, but quality is obvious.

Classic Santa Rita Hills Pinot noir, with that Santa Rita Hills nose and sweet fruit that I absolutely love! Formal notes to come!

Still young and tannic but showing ripe berry flavors. A bit of heat on the nice, long finish.
