January 6, 2024 - Still drinking well. Fresh and well balanced, with a lovely mix of red fruits and hints of orange. Delicious.

July 9, 2022 - a very well done example of what American Pinot can be. Balanced with beautiful red and black fruits, a touch of orange and cran, showing very little age at 10 years....

February 24, 2022 - Medium plus garnet hued red color. Slow-O for 3 hours. Drank a couple glasses over an hour. Same bottle as Bellissimo. I can't add much to Matt's excellent note. This has the burst of red and orange infused fruits on both the nose and palate, with pomegranate, orange peel, raspberry and blood orange, sous bois and modest vanilla. There's some nice ground spice and sage on the nose too. The palate mixes tart and sourness to the same fruit profile on a velveteen texture that picks up some weight over time. A little more bold in style, but fairly restrained for Cali.
