6/23/2018 - Mossrose wrote: 92 pointsThis Pinot Noir captures a signature taste for Santa Rita Hills. Wild blueberry, with an intense, vivid, acidic, and concentrated flavor just not found in the domesticated blueberries selected for big berries plumped up by more water inside. Did improve through the first 3 days, with a darker color, good integration, and rich taste. However, days longer, when down to the last third of the bottle, the only change in the wine was that the texture got somewhat softer. Overall, very enjoyable though not good enough to be in the top tier of Santa Rita Hills Pinots. |

10/15/2023 - VDLT Wine Likes this wine: NRDrinking nicely even though there are still tannins. Not sure I will ever be a big fan of the big, sweet, candied nature of CA Pinot. But this one from the Central Coast is balanced and tasty. |

9/30/2023 - Chill51 Likes this wine: 92 pointsHaving visited this winery and region often, the nose reminds me of the atmosphere surrounding the vineyards, and in my amateur wine knowledge, it seems like I’m getting a slight whiff of the ocean combined with the California Oak/Chaparral of Sta. Rita Hills. First sips were bright, but not acidic, a little chewy, but not overly jammy. Fruit of red raspberry and maybe unripe strawberry was present. On the back end some earth mixed with mild tobacco lingered in a long finish. This is drinking great now, not sure if this will get any better. Served with a pork roast, sautéed green beans, and garlic smashed potatoes. Looking to purchase more of this wine. |

7/22/2023 - esrangers Likes this wine: 92 pointsIf it is chilled, let the temp rise a bit and it opens open to pear and other fruit flavors that results in a very nice drinking wine. |

5/21/2023 - Mezz Likes this wine: 92 pointsReady to go, still solid and refined from age but don’t push much longer. Nice undertones of citrus and dominant core fruit, hint of apricot, velvety vanilla and butter in the finish. Foley knows how to make a good quality chardonnay. Outstanding. |

10/18/2022 - Chris@77 Does not like this wine: NRAs other reviewers have noted, this is an earthy pinot with a tobacco note. Nice nose, very encouraged at this, thin on entry lacking richness in flavor. Short, uninspiring finish. Oddly, I thought it was 'aging' faster. I'll leave the rating alone, would not be high but I don't much like it. Imagine I will not drink the 2d half of the bottle. Having scoured the website of the local wine store for good buys in a price range $25-35, this was disappointing. Afterthought ... it's possible this has very slight damage from temperature (the 'aging' comment) because there is a very faint note similar to temp damaged wine. |
