BC with age - you can’t go wrong! Close your eyes and you could be in Burgundy.

Steve brewer of diatom and Melville this wine is 100% estate fruit. A big Pinot noir with a good amount of ripe fruit black rasperry and pretty floral rose petal notes. A bit hot with spicy and floral notes to the finish. 14.7% finish 40+ excellent

Amazing. Drinks well as I type this. Very complex wine. Is this really a Pinot? Wild berries hits you on the nose, followed up with a leathery full throttle profile. Hints of raisin ending with a smooth finish. Loving it...

I am loving this aroma. Strawberries, herbal notes, with wet earth and some subtle hints of cranberry. Very good first roll on the tongue. I heard the Santa Rita Hills was making some good Burgundian Pinot's and this Brewer-Cifton is proof of that. The mouth feel is full and lasts a good while. We have strawberries, cranberries, good acidity, with soil and some raspberries. Very enjoyable!
