On the darker side of purple for a Pinot. Cherry and strawberry with a hint of toast and Slighty earthy aroma. Medium bodied well balanced. Flavors more apparent in mouth. This is the only Pinot that we have found we consistently like.

Clear read. Dark berries, burned wood, firesticks and smoke on the nose. Palette: toast, dried fruits, more smoke and wood. Some spices as well. Should be a fruity Pinot, but it wasnt?

Entry level Pinot from Babcock. Great brick color and complex floral nose. Tannins are a little harsh right now but smooth out over time. Still young wine. From SD Wine Company.

P. S. I really like this winery. Their single vineyard "Slice of heaven" Pinot is amazing. Some Chardonnays are great as well. Very distinct wines (reminds me of Tatomer wines). One of the best wineries in SB county to visit IMO.

Looks like a Burgundy, smells like a Burgundy... tastes like a Burgundy. Smooth and tasty; missing only that natural "zip" at the end.

Very earthy. Then cherries. Dry. Michelle says it's great I think it's ok but not great for price.
