Nice value at this price point, although not a lot of complex favors. On the nose I get strawberries and plum. Muted finish with some lingering spices.

not a ton of fruit on either the nose or the palate. , definitely more reserved than the russian river variety, more burgundian than california. Good QPR though at under $20, probably better as a "food wine" than as a straight drinker.

Fruit forward (strawberries and red cherries) but restrained, not jammy in the least, best with food, a simple but not humble pleasure. Wish I could remember who gave us the bottle....
A really solid and typical Sonoma Coast PN. Dark cherries overwhelm the nose and gives the over all flavor profile a bit to much sourness, but has nice fruit and excellent weight and will stand up well to most dishes. Recommended a t$15 and under.

light garnet hue. Nose of strawberry, spice, and cherry cola. medium weight in the mouth with notes of dark red fruit, vanilla, and cola. decent finish for the money. well integrated fruit, alcohol, and acidity. good food wine.

Had not heard of this winery before today. Glad to have found this. This one is made in the ready to drink style, but is clearly a cut above the entry level Pinot's in depth and character. Still this wine is subtle.and quite easy drinking. Slightly darker than typical for a Pinot. The nose is on the shy side, mostly red fruit. It is pure Pinot on the palate. Soft cherry, red raspberry and even some plum fruit. Just a little spicy. Pretty heavy in the mouth, probably a touch of caramel on the top of the palate. Ripe raspberry and blueberry fruit. Integrated. Minimal oak influence. Tastes fruity on the finish, with some vanilla. Held it's structure outside along the pool in the late afternoon.

This tastes like it was whole cluster fermented. Some chunky steam flavors that obstruct the underlying dark fruit. Just not my style.

Nice pinot, not my typical varietal; enjoyed the cherry, and medium weight fruit.
