Lip smacking great Pinot. More red fruit than dark fruit. Juicy and perfect on the palate. Love Bacigalupi.

One of if not my favorite Pinot Noir Vineyard. Soft beautifully integrated silky tannins. Sweet blue and red fruit. We are making some Pinot this year from the Bacigalupi and I could not be happier about it. I hope we do as good of a job as Matrix did here.

Love this wine. Bought a bottle for our friends in Sweden so they can taste a killer California Pinot.
