Napa Valley Pinot Noir
Ruby red in color, cherries and red fruits on the nose with some cranberry and a subtle earthiness. Noticed some sage like stuff going on as well. Tannins very soft and I paired it with both the scallops my girlfriend ordered and grilled quail for me. Wonderful with both.

Feb 6th, 2015Fairly dark from blend with Petit Sirah, cherry cola nose, same on palate with touch of rose petals and waxy lipstick, very soft body, lacking acid, flabby.

Nov 20th, 2014Yes to this one. Curious forest floor notes on the nose, with lots of spice on the palate and a long finish. I opened it after our bottle of after-work Pinot Noir plonk ran dry and the difference was huge. It went well enough with burgers, but I'd like try it again with with roasted poultry and cranberry sauce.

Jun 11th, 2016Medium bodied wine. Hints of vanilla and heavy black currants and berries. Finished with spices. Longer finish. Very good.

Apr 23rd, 2015Great example of new world Pinot noir. Nose is strawberry, cloves and a little vanilla. Complex taste with vibrant flavors of strawberry, cranberry and orange zest,cherries, bit of sweet chocolate or marshmellow even. Balenced acidity with a good finish. Medium body and very drinkable. Great go to wine at the super market. Cheers
