Wonderful, earthy, ocean-y New California Pinot from an absolutely fantastic producers. Tucked away in Santa Rita hills right next to SeaSmoke vineyards, this is waaaaay more interesting than usual (and in my opinion quite boring) jammy stuffy chewy cab-by California Pinot Noir. Single vineyard, this is more active, lively, not as gentle as their estate wine. Definitely amazing bottle. If you can find it, don't think twice.

My oh my......the closest maybe yet to the infamous bottle from Brewer Clifton a few years back. Simply memorable. Nose of berries and Flora in a wonderful treat to the senses! Silky smooth, with a mid length finish. Just like BC, from Santa Rita Hills.

New wine... big cherry fruit, whole cluster fermentation which makes for very bold flavors... watch out for this wine
