December 19, 2015 - I have to agree with another reviewer here that this has more of a Syrah thing going on. This makes it very hard to give it a usable Pinot review. Makes it a real headscratcher. It's not bad but it's hard to define it.

August 5, 2013 - Dark, almost too dark for a Pinot. Comes across as vey fruit forward, almost grapey, and very young. Perhaps it is just the youth, but it definitely pushes the borders of Pinot, into that Syrah-lovers style that is gaining traction among Central Coast Pinots. Fans of that style will be more appreciative than me; time may also change my impression.
