Bright and breezy, with a cola explosion on the plate. Good texture, complimented with quite high acidity. Needs to see a cellar to help it relax.

Cola overload on the nose.
Palette is a touch medicinal. Lively acidity and well integrated tannins, which negate the acidity and help smooth out the presentation. Needs food as it lacks complexity.

The wrong wine, since the entry-level Sta Rita Hills is not listed.
Huge cola berries on the nose. Palette is bright and maybe overly acidic. Cinnamon and cloves dominate on the palette. Take a another look at this a year or so from now.

Forrest floor, mushrooms, barnyard, soft tannins, would like more acidity

Yes! This is it, a stunning Pinot. I typically favor Oregon pinots to California but this is like the best of both worlds. I have to buy more, in quantity.
