  14.2% abv. Recent auction purchase.
  My first time trying this producer and I am pretty impressed. Style wise, this is very Californian, with robust, ripe fruit but not jammy or cloying. There is enough acidity to balance things out nicely. There is a slightly bitter note, but does not seem like much, if any, whole cluster (no tech sheet available that I could find). Excellent depth and concentration with an unfiltered mouthfeel. Strong aromatics as well. No overt oak notes - this feels like there is some barrel influence, but it is integrated and overall, this is in a very harmonious place right now. Seems like it has the stuffing to evolve further, but I'd say this is in its peak drinking window right now. Went great with pizza.
  Flavor profile reminded me of Santa Maria valley more than RRV. Great wine, well done. I have a 2014 in my cellar and really look forward to opening that in the near future.

  Nice pinot. Took about an hour to open up but nice strawberry ad cherry flavors with a good backbone of acidity. Doesn't blow you away but quite enjoyable for any occasion.

  An ok pinot. A touch too sweet. Good flavor. A bit out of balance. Maybe when tannins are more integrated it will be better.
