Elegant raspberry acidity slightly peppery. Simple on flavors. Complex on structure.

Burgundy color. Bright red fruit and barnyard on the nose. Initial ripe cherry and raspberry, followed by a bit of mushroom and earth, and then a cherry cola finish with a bit of heat. Enough going on.

Bright, deep burgundy color. Great contrast to Biggio Hamina Pinot. Both good wines, in a different way. This one, deeper red fruit, dark cherry and cola on the nose. Bright red fruit, a bit of mushroom and earth in the mid palate, and then deeper red fruit, cola, and a good balance of acidity on the finish. Hangs on for a bit. Well made, and enjoyable.

Dark burgundy color. Deep raspberry, dark cherry, with some dried tobacco leaves on the nose. Opens up over time. Initially sweet raspberry, round red fruit, and then earth, stony fruit. Long, lingering finish. Licorice...keeps going. Nice.

Just one of the most consistently excellent California Sonoma Coast AVA Pinots out there.

Sour cherry nose. forest floor notes and ripe strawberry on the mouth. The flavors are all so slight but the acidity really brings you back for more. Great with my cheeseburger.
