Light fruit, great spice, mild tannins and pretty refreshing. A good example of Whats new for California coastal Pinot Noir

Maybe a bit biased but decanted out of the mag served at Bestia. A yummy delight.

Bright cherry, earth, and nice layers. Good finish. Excellent example of Sta Rita Hills

2011 Wenzlau Pinot. Drank at Bestia w Iana and fam. Big, bright, jammy nose, but quite an acidic and abrupt finish. Did not like this.

Out of magnum. I had this back in November. Their property is a gem. It shows. As I said about their Chardonnay two weeks ago...do yourself a favor, buy it every vintage.
