December 25, 2020 - Used coravin
April 20, 2020 - Cherry, orange candy and orange blossom. Light to medium body, not a long finish...seemed to taper off at the end.
March 26, 2020 - Agree with Daniel in the note below. The wine takes a little air to show its thing. Nothing too complex but not over-the-top or overly fruity, either. Would slip this into a blind tasting and see what people think. At $40ish, would not buy it again.
August 21, 2019 - Took about 3 hours to finally open up. Once it did it was quite tasty. Cherry and blackberry well balanced
February 8, 2019 - No formal note, a well made pinot with some developing complexity, more cellar time will bring that out and add a point or two to its rating.
December 26, 2018 - Solid QPR.
December 1, 2018 - Excellent QPR
August 4, 2018 - Light bramble nose. Strawberry palate at first then turns sour cherry. Mild, leafy, vegetal undertone on the finish mixed with strawberries again. Finish is short and acidic.
June 30, 2018 - Outstanding. I was pleasantly surprised. I do not know where in the Santa Cruz AVA these grapes are from, but they are competitive with some of the best from Santa Rita Hills and Santa Lucia Hills AVA. Clearly well made. I would buy again. Ideal price would be closer to $30.
May 27, 2018 - Subdued on the nose. Just a slight floral note.
Zesty strawberry up front on the palate. By far the best part.
Adding oxygen adds sourness which is not nice, and the finish is not too enjoyable.
It was a crime scene the second day: finish it soon after opening.
