January 23, 2014 - Thanks to Alex and Bill at Yan's China Bistro for suggesting a taste of this Pinot Noir. Medium plum color in the glass, very aromatic nose of Dijon clones, earth, and a touch of minerals, more of the same on the palate, medium body, at its peak, tasty because of the Dijon clones and barnyard, touch one dimensional, agrees with my sense of what California Pinot Noir should be.

Drink up! -

February 18, 2013 - This wine was like drinking a stewed strawberries. Way too much sugar and not enjoyable unless you have a sweet tooth. Almost a dessert wine in character. I would not buy this wine again. I would be really pissed if I had paid $50+ for this wine.
