Enjoyed finally tasting this Sebastopol grown delight. Husband and wife grape growing duo Pamela and Glen Gunsalus farm 10 acres of some of the most picturesque Pinot Noir in Sonoma County.

2 hr decant shows some really nice Bing cherries and cranberries, with darker blackberry fruit and bramble later on palate. Yum. 2009 vintage.
