  January 21, 2023 - Medium weight for an RRV pinot. Definitely, time to drink if you like pinots with big fruit. Red and dark fruit, some menthol on the nose. Soft, and viscous on the palate, but the structure is fading.

  August 28, 2020 - This was my contribution for a New World v Old World Pinot tasting, with all 14 wines tasted blind.
  
  The only Fantesca wine not made by winemaker Heidi Barrett, but by assistant winemaker Tony Arcudi. A good balance of classical Cali Pinot with some old world flair. Fruit here is slightly underripe and a mix of red and black berries. A definite herbal influence with underbrush. Lots of layers here...rhubarb tart and candied black cherries up front before evolving to show herbs de Provence, cedar, crunchy cranberry and tobacco leaves. I called this my wine.
