Big and rich, great fruit and body, a little sweetness in middle. Overall a Great New Pinot Noir from 2013 vintage. 96+

Cola everywhere. Soft and round on the palette, tilting towards simplicity. Good amount of sweetness, with relaxed acidity. This won't support cellaring.

Earth, meat, smoke, thyme, raspberry, pomegranate, red currant and violet. Great length but bringing some heat at 14.2%.

not bad for a Cali Pinot. spice, earth, and fruit. young, but a bit of age would probably work wonders......confused on high alcohol content.....could be toned downed

Another offsite clean up bottle. Still showing well. Classic CA Pinot nose and flavors. Will be comparing with two others tonight and see how these old ones do.

Never fails to deliver. For $52 these single vineyard pinots from APV are hard to beat in the value department.

The last of 3 pinot bottlings tonight and easily the biggest and brawniest. Youthful and bold, just a massive fruit attack. Loved it.
