Strawberry, cooked cherry, lightly toasted, stems, touch of iron and vanilla. Tastes a little bland and lacking some acid and mid-palate action. Watered back maybe? Decent.

Excellent Pinot for the price. Mild berry. Medium complexity. Would definitely buy again

Refreshing. Sweetly acidic. Has mineral depth the likes of an ouzel in a fast-flowing section of the Russian River planing for insects and nymphs

Fits my preference for a fruit forward Pinot. Very nice especially for the price.
