A very nice Pinot Noir from Santa Cruz, California. Showing Bing cherry, red candy, strawberries, wild flowers and spices.

Great nose with lots of flowers.

Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity and long legs.

A very tasty Pinot Noir, although not my style.

Thank you Scott for sharing.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

Raspberry, Santa Cruz Mountain redwoods & soil. Terrior is unmistakably Santa Cruz Mountains. Stunning.

Ok. More fruit as I requested but still the palate cried out for more. Spicy but still sweet.

Quite lean for first 15-20 minutes not giving up much. Then opened up nicely with rhubarb and strawberries and fleshed out in the mid palate with VG+ tangy finish.
