Cherry and black pepper on the nose, with a hint of menthol (eucalyptus). More spice than fruit. And OMG. Gorgeous! Not sure if the alcohol content , but it seems higher. Fully flavored, silky mouth feel. More of the cherry with raisin, and again lots of spice. A winner!

After breathing a bit, getting strawberries and some cedar on the palate, along with the aforementioned cherry and black pepper. This is almost 15% alcohol, and it shows. I feel that the alcohol content competes with the luscious flavors, and would have been much better with lower alcohol, but California winemakers love their powerhouse wines. — 4 months ago

Powerful nose of dark fruits . Surprisingly it was not the palate that I was expecting given the vintage. While certainly not a shrinking violet the palate was concentrated but not ponderous . Flavors of black cherry, plums, spice and some oak notes. I was very pleased no alcohol heat. Definitely structure there but something tells me this will not be a long distance runner. — 3 years ago

Wow. That's a top class Pinot. I am drinking it with great friends so maybe I'm looking through rose color glasses but wow. — 6 months ago

Runner-up for Wine Of The Night but definitely the pleasant surprise of the night. Little funky nose and not particularly effervescent for a sparkler. Acidity is muted and feels like a “real wine” as opposed to those chemically enhanced science experiments that pass for luxury wine life in some quarters. Definitely would serve this to my most discerning guests like @Sam Shepard @Brendan Devine and if I could be so blessed, the GOATs of the wine world like @Ron R @Mike R @Willie Carter, a little something off the beaten path. — 3 years ago
