89 Points

Friday, January 28, 2011 - Walking tour of tasting rooms on Lincoln Ave Calistoga, Ca 1/28/2011: The no label bottle may be a marketing gimmick, but the wine is not. This is Pinot for those that love the taste of Pinot, in the same way that Zin lovers, love Zin. We don't want to age our wines for 6 years then decant over night to drink them, we want Pinot now, and this one delivers. Not very dark. True Pinot nose. The major fruit character is ripe plums. There is very little of all those non fruit aroma and flavor nuances to interfere with our fruit. Just enough acid to keep the palate cleansed. Not getting a lot of oak or tannins. In some ways I want to give this a 100 point score. My best compliment is that next time I go there I am going to buy a case.
