December 8, 2014 - flat acidic spoiled almost.....over done ?
December 25, 2013 - enjoyable if not stunning Carneros pinot
November 21, 2013 - Excellent Pinot.
October 22, 2013 - See through garnet. Dirty strawberry and spice nose. Medium bodied, piercing tart cherries, grainy tannins, a bit of heat, and a slightly astringent medium finish. Somewhat Burgundian and more austere than last time.
March 2, 2013 - Straight out of the bottle through a Vinturi it's a rose-dusty nose, sharp fruity body, very pure Pinoty. Simple start, with excellent outhwatering acidity and red-dark cherry (the PN taste!), with a long finish. Not layers of depth, no dirt, no barnyward, but just a very good, biting tasty PN. Really realy good, and at the knockdown half price offer amazing value. Really good stuff, and my goto low-end American PN if I Can get again at that price, as it's medium-level stuff, Clean, well-made, and good like Villages or better!
December 15, 2012 - It looked so light in color in the bottle I was not expecting anything great. But wow, after about 20 min of being open this wine was fruity and clean. With a long finish. I want more.
October 21, 2012 - just okay - Drink up very light not very complex
September 27, 2012 - very light in color cherry blackberry not a terrible pinot for the money
September 7, 2012 - Not a bad Pinot, but not outstanding like some of the other Cali Pinots. This has all the Pinot hallmark flavors but not the depth of some of it's peers. However at this price point not too bad.
June 16, 2012 - Light garnet in the glass; looks thin and light, but this is deceiving. Nose of orange, cedar, and black cherry. Luscious mouth that is fruit- forward and an excellent pairing for spicy food or the bumper of a car. Excellent young Pinot.
