  Simply the best Pinot we've ever had. Incredibly smooth. Very delicate, interesting flavors of red fruit. If you can find any of their 2013 buy it. You won't be sorry.
  
  The wine looks ruby colored. The legs are slow. There is light sediment in the bottle. It smells like strawberry, coffee and light toast. It tastes like strawberry, blackberry and light toast. The body is medium. The wine has satin-like texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has medium acidity.

  I've probably had a dozen of the 2013s over the past five years and every time I drink it I say to myself "this is the best wine I've ever had". How can something be so smooth, so tasty, so easy to drink? If you can find the 2013 GET SOME.
  
  BTW, this won double gold at the SF Wine Festival in 2015 (I think that was the year).
  The wine looks light brown colored. The legs are slow. There is light sediment in the bottle. It smells like strawberry and mushroom. It tastes like strawberry and blackberry. The body is medium/full. The wine has silky texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has medium acidity.

  IMHO the 2013 is the best of the bunch. Long on the palate and very versatile. After taking a sip, you can't wait to take another. Long on the palate and delicious. Very balanced.
  The wine looks purple colored. The legs are slow. There is light sediment in the bottle. It smells like strawberry and blueberry. It tastes like strawberry, blueberry and cranberry.
