Always killer. 2013 shows lots of red fruit and forest floor. It is restrained and elegant with yet has some persistence. This may be the best 'Sonoma coast' from anthill yet. Yum!!!!

Massively fragrant with beautiful orange oil, crushed raspberries, then rose as it warms. Bright spritzy entry and streamlined mouthfeel

Dark cherry red with little purple tinges in the glass with a wide brim. Smoke cascades on the nose combining with a veritable mountain of fruit. Raspberry, wild strawberry, and boysenberry dominate things until it gets some air. Damp earth and white pepper soon join in with the added bonus of dried herbs and floral accents.

Cali Pinot done right. Cool climate Sonoma Pinot has always been a go to when it comes to domestic PN and it doesn’t disappoint here. Silky and velvety on the tongue, this really is quite the stunner for their entry level bottle. Nice acidity and truly wonderful balance. The palate follows the nose with more earth driven notes along with a ton of fruit, with just a small touch of sweetness. Fun stuff, top notch stuff.

Needs a touch more time. So young. Love the structure.

This is now one of my favorite Pinot Noirs. Wonderfully silky smooth, with flavors of strawberries and raspberries, just a little sour cherry and a hint of earthiness. I will definitely be getting this Pinot again and looking for other vintages to try.

This seemed to offer more than the most recent reviews suggest. Nice nose, fruit, and balance. Not perfect or super interesting or complex by any means. But a very enjoyable, well-made, simple wine that doesn't require much thinking, and pairs well with comparable foods; for us, Neopolitan pizza. There are some better price options in this range, namely LWC.
