Quickly becoming one of my new favorite Mendocino properties. Potent, sun-kissed red fruit but with with a racy, fresh streak and pretty frilly things all around. Flouncy, in a good way.

Enjoyable start to the evening. Cherries, rhubarb, strawberries, and spices that open and soften with time.

Delicious red fruit, flowers, spice, and acid. Been in the mood for some CA Pinot lately--this definitely hit the spot.

Easy from the first sip. Opens up nicely. Would recommend decanting for 15 minutes before serving; that said it is interesting to experience the wine through the various stages. Nice value. A crowd pleaser.

This was a young wine that was already tasty. It had scents of berry and hint of spice while a taste that was strawberry and raspberry with another hint of spice. All in all a very good wine.
