Not the best of the Ojai Pinots, but better than most of its competitors. Very food-friendly (baked salmon in this case), bright tart-cherry fruit, nicely balanced with round tannins.

Blind at Auggie's: Med. ruby red; bubble gum, red raspberry, blackberry, yeasty, parsley, tea, cola; red fruit dominates, meat, chocolate cherries; mouth has cranberry, nutmeg-cinnamon, strawberry, earth, herbal notes of bay leaf, eucalyptus. A touch hot, good acid. Guessed NZ Pinot b/c the herbal quality.

fragrant nose. nice acidity. verve. licorice. spice. a bit of candied cherry fruit that is in the way of an otherwise very pretty wine from Ojai.

Lush aromas of earth and blackberry. Cherry, blackberry, with a bit of dark chocolate on a long finish.

Still young, berries and cherries. Looking forward to trying again as it ages.
