I'm a fan of this wine. Cherry opener with a red and black fruit mid. Earthy as you'd like a Pinot to be. Black tea, herbs and some smoke to finish. — 3 months ago

This is a very tasty Pinot Noir from Sonoma County. Fruit forward and elegant.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Showing red fruits with light oak, chocolate notes and tobacco.
Showing nice complexity with a soft mouth feel. Easy drinking and good right out of the bottle.
Good by itself as a sipping wine, and good with food too.
14.4% alcohol by volume.

Dairyman Vineyard sits in the southern alluvial plains of the Russian River Valley near the ocean, a region where cooling fog comes in through the Petaluma Gap in the morning and once again in the evening. Medium Ruby color, with aromas of berries, tea and spices. On the palate flavors of raspberry and tart black cherry with herb, cedar and cinnamon. Fine tannins, medium+ finish with lively acidity, good structure, ending with fruit and cedar spice. — 2 months ago
The ‘23 Lichau Hills is a showcase for the fruit, starting off lean, pure, and elegant. With a long decant, some softer edges, redder fruits, and the rocky soil of the vineyard started to show through. Mild acids and tannins. A bit one dimensional but it is very, very young. Food friendly. — 2 months ago
On the way down but still lovely. Sweet tannins shining. — 4 months ago

About the fifth bottle of this I have opened and it was amazing due to a brilliant cork. So rich and luscious with glorious long sweet Coonawarra tannin. — 17 days ago
