Rating 2014 a 96 for now so the scale has somewhere to go up once it gets some age. Aromatics hit the nose with power and went down nicely. This one will be great @Bruce Phillips scary good for being this young. Cheers! — 9 years ago

The 2014 Sonoma County Pinot Noir had bright ruby and complex red berry fruit aromas with sweet earthy spice. The palate shows cherry, tart raspberry and strawberry flavors with citrus notes, pepper and nuttiness. The finish develops some toasty oak notes, minerality with firm tannins, well balanced coming together. Consistent quality year after year! A good value Pinot as retail is around $30, rivals some $50 bottles. — 8 years ago

Crisp and fruity but not super smooth. Great for big entrees. Had at Truluk's. 10-15-14 — 11 years ago
Supple, ripe and round. The elevated alcohol in this wine drives the aged aromatics to a fever pitch. In short, a beautiful wine. — 11 years ago
