A great condenser. Juicy and bright. A little simple but tasty.

Great definition of California Pinot. Dried fruits, cranberry, dried black cherries, black tea leaves, and super black pepper notes. Silly, elegant, dancing acidity, this is a great $20 Pinot.

Fantastic star bright garnet color. The nose is intensely aromatic; crushed rose petal, slight potpourri, black pepper, & black cherry. Palate delights & confirms nose and adds black tea and nice acid to round it.

Reserved and pent-up, this wine could probably use another 6 months in bottle. It is savory yet full-fruited and a great match for stewed cherries with veal chops.

I dig it. Road tar & strawberries, slight stewed veggies but adds a layer. Under priced.

Nice Pinot noir with barbecue. Opens up well as you move through the bottle.

Mild tannins, berries, sweet but not too sweet.
