Named after the winery owners’ grandfather, Scott produces wines from Dijon Clones grown on the estate in the Arroyo Seco appellation of Monterey, CA. Ruby with red berry fruit aromas and subtlr spice. On the palate cherry, cranberry and strawberry flavors come through with earthy herb spice, some vanilla notes. Lively acidity and smooth tannins, good balance. Medium+ finish, soft oak, rich texture, Very Nice.

Ruby with red Berry fruit aromas and earthy spice notes. On the palate cherry, cranberry and strawberry flavors come through with herb spice. Lively acidity and smooth tannins make this wine balanced. Vanilla spice and oak give this wine a rich texture on a medium length finish. Very Nice.

Ruby with red berry fruit aromas and herb spices. On the palate cherry, strawberry and plum fruit with sweet vanilla spice. The wine shows good balance with acidity and tannins. The soft mineral finish was medium and ended with good length. Nice value.

Enjoyed this Pinot. Lots going on in the glass with this one! Nice acidity, concentrated aromas of dark cherry, hints of rose petal and caramel, rich dark color, nice example of the wines from this area

Berry compote, light acidity and tannins, smooth and satisfying. Would definitely buy again.

Solid and typical Monterey pinot. Charred red fruit on the nose. Tart red fruit on the palate with signature mineral notes. Impressively long acid finish for this entry level sipper.

Tart cherry and pepper on the nose. Had a good earthy funk just after opening but that mellowed out after a few hours. Ripe and fruit forward, medium to medium plus. Really very good, and a good value at $22. I’ll definitely go back and get the last few bottles.
