Perhaps the best California Pinot Noir that I've ever had. If tasted blind I would have guessed Oregon. Burgundian nose of violets. Palate dominated by sweet pinot fruit. Oak unobtrusive and well integrated for such a young wine. Good acidity and a long fruit filled finish. Drink now for it's youthfull exuberance or let it age in your cellar.

Pretty much ditto my previous notes. Tastes more California than I remember.

darker and more robust than the Oregon pinot noirs we typically drink.

DITTO my previous notes. Unmistakable California, but well balanced.

Ditto my previous notes. Unmistakable California high extraction and oak, yet well balanced and retaining varietal character.

Ditto my previous notes on this wine. Varietal character comes through, as it often does not in California.

Beautiful! This is a more elegant side of California Pinot. Wonderfully balanced nice medium weight, great acidity.

Really nice nose. Anise is large on the end.
Bounces a little too much. Needs more time, too young right. A bit young

Big cherry and spice notes on the notes, repeated when tasted - long, lingering flavors. The oak is a little stiff, but time should calm it down.
