One of the better Pinot producers in the Paso area; they recently stopped selling to the general market so if you are a fan I would become a Member ASAP. Enjoy!

Needed to open up - after an hour, it was a different wine. Purchased at Costco for $30. Very good Napa Cab for $30.

Decent - I guess I had higher expectations as this came from one of my favorite Pinot Wineries - Jack Creek.

Decent nose; smooth feel. For $20 @ Von's, you could do a whole lot worse...

My first experience with Argentinian wine was pleasant. American Winemaker Paul Hobbs had a lot of influence in this wine. Would recommend. Priced well (under $40).

Underwhelming bouquet; but exceptional flavor! Great story behind this label dating back to prohibition days. Check it out.

Drank in flight with 2013 Isosceles; after a few hours, the 2012 opened up beautifully. Soft feel, good favors. Definitely recommend decanting at least a few hours prior to enjoyment. Aloha!

Drank in flight with 2012 Isosceles; 2013 was initially better - but after a few hours - the 2012 ended up surpassing. Strong aroma; astringent.

Tremendous small-production Pinot; if you like Jack Creek get on their membership now as it is supposed to be closed off soon.
