January 29, 2018 - Rich sweet cherry with some spice on the finish
December 17, 2016 - Very good. Sour cherry taste. Liked it a lot
November 1, 2015 - Drank alongside the 2010. We preferred this vintage. The wine was cleaner with brighter fruit, nicely balanced with baking spice the linger with the cherry fruit on the finish.
August 18, 2015 - A higher degree of sweetness and cherry notes than I remembered from my last tasting. It's easy to enjoy, but not especially memorable.
August 15, 2015 - Nice and fruity pinot
May 20, 2015 - Wines At Our Table; Week of May 24th, 2015; 5/18/2015-5/24/2015: Dark ruby color with raspberry, pomegranate, cherry, cardamom and baking spice aromas. On the palate, it's medium bodied, and fresh with a very supple texture with raspberry, cherry, pomegranate and spice flavors. Satisfying finish.
April 14, 2015 - It's been a couple of years since I last tasted this wine and it has settled into its adolescence nicely. The forward red fruit has become abit more restrained and the oak is not as overpowering as it was in its youth. There's still reasonable depth for a wine at this price point with baking spice and cola notes throughout. If you like Cali PN, this is a good example with a very good qpr.
December 29, 2014 - Drank alongside an '11 LWC Santa Lucia Highlands PN. This wine was thinner and not as balanced with the fruit and spice but still enjoyable.
December 21, 2014 - No doubt that this is from California. Bright, round and rich with a lucious mouthfeel. Nose show some earth, wood and herbal qualities I quite like. Taste is juicy fruit (raspberry, blueberry, pommegrate) with a little cola bringing up the rear. Right time and place, this delivers.
May 16, 2014 - Just excellent!
