Community Tasting Note

• MattMauldin Likes this wine:

  June 3, 2018 - Sonoma County May 29, 2018: Aromas of tea leaf, fig, smoked paprika and lavender- nicely complex. Succulent and snappy red fruit palate with secondary layers of mineral, earth and florals. Finely elegant weight and tannins and very good depth on the finish. Excellent.

As a group they stood out from other CA lean-styled Pinot Noir with their dark mineral and earth notes- somewhat of an homage to Burgundy in that respect. The Home Field was the brightest profile of the 3, and my favorite. It's definitely pricey at $75, but if you're in the market for CA Pinot Noir at that price, it's worthy. To my mind, it's definitely in the quality league of similarly styled top end wines from Littorai or Rhys. So yes, I'd recommend it.
