This is a bigger wine than I remember. More brawny. A lot of baking spice and also spices in general. Almost a cumin component. There’s a lot of fruit but it is richer and darker cherry and berry. I’m guessing this will integrate better over time. — 24 days ago

Awesome! Dark fruits, baking spices, black pepper, cherry, bitter chocolate, and overall tartness that brings you back. Definitely has some years ahead but wow is this good. — 3 years ago

Northern rhone, cool climate California. Earth, blood, strawberries, boysenberry, menthol, rock. Very good with food. So different from Zaca Mesa I had last night. I like both for different reasons. — 2 years ago

9.3

2020 vintage. A tad earthier than the vast majority of Santa Rita Hills stuff I’ve ripped through. 13.5% ABV. Medium body. The expected SRH prettiness is front-loaded fruit with the dirtiness following on the finish. Excellent concentration and a whopping 75 cases made. — 4 years ago

Totally unfamiliar with the producer. Somm dropped a glass off at my table, “Try”
Aromatically appealing with scents of cinnamon., cherry and clearly some whole cluster. All followed thru to the palate along with lots of spice and some black tea like tannin. Very nice wine but would consume over the next 2 years. — 10 months ago

2019 vintage at Signature restaurant; quintessential Pinot with a bit of barn p-funk, fruit forward, very smooth and medium body. Excellent finish and paired nicely with truffle risotto — 3 years ago

Black cherry and plum fruit with bay leaf accents. I love the mouthfeel on this wine but I’m not crazy about the oaky vanilla that dominates the finish. May need to sit for awhile. — 6 years ago
