Very Santa Maria - fruity and earthy - and quite pure - no new oak in this wine.

Loam and spice and everything nice. Mulled cherries too. It's my mom's favorite, so I snagged a glass.

An awesome Pinot. Was a great surprise to actually like a Pinot. Most are weak, without a lot of flavor, or nuance. This was the exception. Great nose, warm on tongue. Flavorful and morphed into a delicate ripe fruit during dinner. Paired with a simply grilled salmon.

Love this earthy Pinot from santa maria valley. It's great to pair with mushroom ravioli or a cheese plate. This is a go-to for many local Pinot enthusiasts!

After opening for about an hour this really provided some great flavors. Paired excellent with filet and chocolate desert.
