Nose is rhubarb pie, cinnamon, American oak, and eucalyptus. More oak, rhubarb and cinnamon on the palate along with bright cherry. Low tannins, sky high alcohol, and high acid. Too damn hot. Note to SLH wineries, pinot noir simply can’t sustain alcohol levels this high. Please stop it.

We had the 2017 Vintage on 5/21-22/21. This is a fruit forward CA PN. Certainly darker in color and taste compared to Sonoma or Oregon. Tastes of black cherry, candied raspberry and a touch of cocoa. A smooth finish to a wine with good value.
