Hello whole cluster! Wow, this is so delicious right now. For my palate preference, I enjoy whole cluster pinots with a bit of age on them. Very floral and potpourri dominant aromatics. It’s got that streak of pepper/green stem down the middle of the palate sandwiched between underripe blackberry and sage.

Red color is fainting, but still retaining black cherry notes, fleshy skinned fruits, with an herbal bite. Very cherry and birch wood dominant.

Enjoyable zippy and deep SLH Pinot. Great balance and fascinating flavors folded together. Still feels young.

In a beautiful spot right now as a teenager. Understated, sappy pinot fruit, lots of bottle development. This is the wine they would make in Burgundy if they had California fruit.

Beautiful, lightly extracted and hitting its stride at age 10. Seamless and silky, yet still fresh and bright. Yum.

Tasting with Alberty - the 2001 Sleepy Hollow Arcadian pinot is singing right now! Drink up! So balanced and near perfect Pinot essence.
