2010, 40th anniversary Pinot. Candied fruit, cherry syrup, warm, medium bodied, nice acid. BIG boy.. 15.9% 😳 too boozy for me.

Ripe black fruit, root beer, juicy mouth-watering acidity, medium bodied. Very good value.

Delightful. My dad drinks a lot of Sanford, fun to see the family relationship within the same AVA.

Dark fruits, a bit reductive. Bigger style Pinot.

Had to open this 06 @almarosawines Pinot after reading SRH chapter in @jbonne 's book. Vibrant, cranberry & tart cherry with thyme & herbal notes.

Alma Rosa Pinot Noir 2017: Medium-body. Perfect balance & acidity. Fine soft tannins. Aromas of red fruits & cedar with bright red fruits notes of cherry, raspberry, strawberry & cola. Smooth spiced finish. For me, this was an outstanding Central CA Pinot Noir; not overpowering, simply pleasant! Perfect Pinot Noir characteristics that can be complemented with just about any meal and for me, I paired it with a grilled beef kebab Roka salad. Great day to all! Cheers🍷
