Inspired by the golden hills that frame the landscape of San Bernabe Vineyard at the southern edge of the Santa Lucia Mountain range. Deep color with berry fruit aromas and notes of sweet honey scents. On the palate blackberry and cherry flavors with layers of flavors from cacao to pepper spice. Smooth tannins balanced well with acidity, lingering ending with espresso and spice character. Nice value.

This wine definitely needs to be decanted. Delicious light pepper, dark berry, earthy taste.

A dark and toasty Pinot with some fruit flavors on the tongue. Some notes of cherry and blueberry. Very smooth and enjoyable!

Introduction on the nose is rich and enticing. The mouth is very dry with a subtle bright spot. The flavors are rich smooth and just light enough to stay true to Pinot Noir. Some noticeable tannins remain though nothing harsh. A slightly bitter finish takes away from an extraordinary rating. The glass is a pleasing accompaniment to a relaxing evening.

Wonderful nose starts with cherry and has some smokiness to it. Mole/chocolate undertones and berry notes on the finish.
