Deep Ruby with red fruit aromas and spice. The palate shows a ton of fruit, cherry, cranberry, raspberry and touches of dark berries. Cinnamon spice is noted with the well structured wine. Soft developed tannins were noted on a smooth finish with good length.

Still a nice Pinot. Time to drink this vintage in my opinion. Didn’t pack quite the punch as the last bottle but still lovely.

Had our last bottle of this last night. Still as good as I remembered. A very nice CA Pinot.

Ok, but didn't justify the price

This was a gift from my bride for Christmas, a mid-range bottle along with a more expensive bottle.We really enjoyed this broad Pinot! Lots of different fruit flavors, that reveal themselves over the course of a sip and over the course of an evening. Dark bouquet that lead to a surprisingly diverse and complicated pallet , more like a cab than Pinot, and finished with a delightfully lingering and silky figgy-earthiness. We really did love this for a Pinot noir. Highly recommend!

Total wine. Hard to beat. Several flavors that change over several seconds. About $40.

Great Pinot, nice rich and earthy feel to it. Easy to drink but still a good level of complexity.
