Garnet in the glass with some serious fruit. Almost apple vanilla with a lot of raspberry. Very smooth.

Juicy. Balanced. Delicious. A surprisingly great CA Pinot from the Benzinger folks.

Decent Pinot from an overwhelmingly mediocre 'amusement park' winery.

Very soft and pretty fruity, but good balance... worked great with a slightly spicy Asian-style shrimp and peppers dish.

Lovely old Pinot from Sonoma...a little tight on the open, but opens with delicate fruit and a touch of earth...
