Now this is Pinot Noir the way it was meant to be! Floral, more subtle and less in your face like Meomi or Belle Glos. The nose is shy upon opening but after a couple of decanter days, it’s really come alive! Excellent with pork or salmon and turkey, it’s great for sipping or pairing. The mouthfeel is excellent and the flavors linger long after your last sip. Never thought California Pinot could be so authentic tasting. — 2 months ago

Estate fruit from Annahala (77%) and Apple Barn (23%) vineyards in Anderson Valley. Cool and coastally-influenced vineyards. Barrel aged for 10 months in 41% new French oak. Sweet black cherry, black raspberry and strawberry fruit, with graphite, violets, and mineral and smoky notes.

Belle robe rubis foncé. Un nez médicinal, camphré et iodé avec en plus du tabac, des fraises et du chocolat. La bouche est aussi dans la pharmacie, c'est agréable, moyen-long, une bonne acidité. Rien de spectaculaire, on a vu des Zinfandels moins cher et meilleur. Composé à majorité de Zinfandel (81%) de St-Helena (White Barn, Molinari et Gonzales vineyard) d'une touche de Petite Syrah (10%) et de Carignan (9%). Le tout en agriculture biologique. J'adore l'étiquette. — a year ago

1.5 hour decant (decent chunky/fine/cloudy sediment). An amazing dark purplish ruby red color...still looks young. On the nose: Nice big beautiful aromatics of graphite, currants, forest floor, sweet tobacco, creme brulee, and a little green veggie/barn yard funk. Taste: NICE! A smooth, soft, elegant, vibrant medium plus body wine with cedar, leather, blueberry, earth, smoke, and a crushed gravel-pencil lead_medium plus finish. Could drink this all night, but will probably be gone in the next hour. — 4 years ago

Color a is murky red brown. Nose—a sweet red cherry plum and forest floor barn yard funk with green veggie. A slight menthol lingering. Taste— Sweet strawberry tea flavors hit the pallet. A slight smoky and tobacco medium finish with touches of currant, tea and spices hanging around making the wine soft and pleasant and wanting more. Tannins have sweeten but definitely still there! — 6 years ago
