4th wine of BYOB blind. Very light with a slight effervescence, leading us to call this as a natty pinot. Was surprised it was such a classic. Have had Mt Eden Pinot before and this was not in the same neighborhood of depth/forest floor. Alas, not my favorite vintage

Dark in color, strong fruit fragrance. Classic Pinot taste. Cab lovers will love this wine. June 2018.

What a great pinot. A bit earthier and more French than your typical California but what flavor. Opens up beautifully, softer tannins. Will def buy again.

Great California Pinot! Black cherry, current, floral overtones, earthy and very well balanced.

Delicious. Vibrant, sweet cherry to dark cherry flavors and nice structure but a bit too much of a hint of oak (?). Could use a could of years in bottle to integrate further.
