A hedonists delight. Downed by the chimney with care. Rich and silky. Almost too much but levels out smoothly before it turns the corner.

That time when you remember why you bought this wine over the cab. Wow, what an incredible expression of the Sonoma Coast. This needed an hour of decant to hit its full stride. Highly recommend for the Pinot drinker. Thanks DJ for the intro.

2 years ago this was a hot disjointed mess. Now it is a borderline masterpiece. The tannins have resolved and unity reigns. Red fruit, vanilla, spice box. Lovely. I'm not sure if Nic Allen or Luc Morlet is the winemaker but kudos to whomever crafted this.

Owned by the same owners as Haut Brion and made by Luc Morlet. Brilliant juice if you can find it.

Amazing bursts of cherry and red fruits on the pallet. Candied fruits and slight mineralogy on the nose. Hard to believe this is a Pinot but I'll take it! Yummy!!
