September 17, 2018 - Really enjoyed this classic style of California Pinot. Rich but not really too overdone. Lots of spice and red fruit. Id say drink now

September 12, 2018 - Bought this at The Hitching Post a few years back. This is an elegant wine with lots of red cherry, some cola, great acidity, and a nice long finish. I'm not always a fan of New World Pinot Noir, but this lovely Pinot is rocking right now!

November 24, 2016 - Dense fruited nose of Black Cherry, Framboise, Vanilla and Spice notes. Silky palate feel with balanced acids and deep sweet fruit. Raspberry, Orange Peel, Black Cherry and Cola notes. Good complexity in the finish, but a bit glossy with lots of oak coming through today.
Not quite as good as a bottle a year ago. Thanksgiving wines 2016. -
