This was fantastic. Opened and expected it to need to develop a bit, but it was great 5 minutes after pouring. A heavier stronger PN. Went great with our Publix subs, but would be great with a wide variety of foods, and on it's own. I'll sure grab a ton of this if ever available again.

At $12.50/bottle it is hard to say anything bad. I think it is a beautiful Pinot that, yes, is more fruit forward and certainly not a Burgundian approach. But the wine does compete well with other CA west coast style Pinot Noir without going over the top with extraction. Very happy it is in my cellar. Easily drinks like a $35-50 bottle from the region. Of course, nothing At all like a Wilamette Pinot, but I am fine with that.

It's fine. Nice nose upon opening, but at first had a somewhat bitter midpalate. Got a little better after an hour or so. Not sure I'd buy again, even at the $13 I paid.

PnP the first night and it was good. But the second day was when it shined. Beautiful nose and nice red fruits on the palate

Very bland early on, but after 1.5 hours of air it opened up very nicely. Very balanced with nice flavor and a pleasant finish.
