$16.99, great balance of fruit and acidity, notes of sour cherry and under ripe strawberry with just a kiss of oak

Tasty pinot, briary highlights, rich with good fruit, perhaps just a bit uneven, should soften in a couple yrs

Peppery nose and secondary flavor after bright red fruit. Lightly oaked with smooth mouthfeel and lingering finish.

Gushing with ripe red fruit. Very pleasant- palate carries over cherry cola, as well as milk chocolate pomegranate, cedar, underbrush, developing interesting earthy root aroma a la gentian/cinchona. Notable acidity- really lingers. A touch hot on the finish, but in a warming way, like after a bit of Goldschlager!

It is earthy, tastes like the barrel. Smooth. I like it.

Not quite the complexity or typicity I look for in a Sonoma Coast pinot. Quaffable though

Great value Pinot! 2010 vintage is on the fruitier side though tempered by the acidity, smooth and a little hot on the end (but I like the burn)
