  Decent nose, but leaves a bit to be desired on the palate. Not bad, just not much too it.

  Ready to drink now. The uniqueness of Pinot from the Sonoma Coast rests in its minerality or what I taste as sea mist/air. I like these pinots very much. They seem more complex than the average RRV pinot. Deep brick red color typical of CA pinot. Cherry and Strawberry nose with a little earth. More fruit than anything. Medium velvety mouthfeel. Tart acidity and soft tannin. Vibrant structure. A pleasant, rounded, extended finish. Not the distinctiveness of other producers like Keller or Alysium.

  Very enjoyable pinot with notes of dark cherry, mushroom, and a smoky aspect. Full on the palate with nice, round fruit. Enjoyed with turkey.

  Great nose of strawberry, dried cherry, and cinnamon.  A little thin on the palate and very tight on the finish right now with some bitter tannins at the end.  This should improve in five or so years as those tannins smooth out and the fruit fully develops.

  Nice Pinot with a bit of a tight feel.
