Steely and grassy with both tangerine and tropical notes. Continues to be a compelling wine every time I try it. — 11 years ago
Delectable is identifying this incorrectly, it is the Block M 115 clone, which is quite different for the Santa Rita Hills Pinot. This is an amazing wine with a nose that is deep and complex, with cherries and cranberries and clover and a palate that is long and velvety. Best wine I've had out of the central coast. What a Thursday night! — 10 years ago
This is a funky and interesting wine. From recently witnessed reactions, you either like it or don't like it. I like it a lot! Bursting bouquet if flowers with honeysuckle notes and apricot hints. Almost an oily sensation in the mouth. Very interesting. Vintage 2010 — 10 years ago
