I thought this was showing beautifully. Had not had anything from this vineyard but it did not disappoint. Big fruit but well balanced. Well made as is everything @Andrew Vingiello does.

This bottle was a little hot and maybe just past the window. Have one more to try and will do so sooner rather than later.

The 2013 was stunning, and over two days just got better and better. Dense and complex with dark cherry and plenty of spice; yet at the same time maintaining lovely Pinot elegance and balance.... The wine Nails what can be so great about Santa Maria Pinot.

If you want an absolutely delicious pn from a true gentleman farmer and a top-flight winemaker, look no further. Watch out for that Turner, though, James...
