Not too complex on day one, but well balanced and enjoyable overall. Turned sweet and out of balance day two.

Very solid wine. I don't believe I could find a better wine for that price in Cali. I'm perplexed why this wine isn't sold for any less than twice it's retail value.

Expressive nose of raspberry, bramble, and clove and white pepper spice. Lovely interplay of sweet fruit and bright spice. More fruit forward on the palate with medium + acid and medium tannin. Sour cherry on the long finish. Killer value from this old world style Pinot.
