Sour cherry and spice, with a lightness and dryness that makes it very food friendly.

It took a short while to get rid of the initial burned rubber kind of smell, but once it did it was a beautiful Pinot Noir. Elegant.

Bluish ruby and terribly hazy (likely from the lack of filtration); rich plum and strawberry nose with some neutral oak, pepper and thyme; red fruits and herbs dominate the palate and it ends with a powerful spicy anis-liquorice. The cloudy/hazy apperance and rough taste are significant turn-offs.

Soft French style with more fruit. Not sure what to make of the sour flavor, but it definitely grew on me. Easy drinking and preferred by Ash and Katie "I'd give it 3 stars"

After an hour I completely forgot it was central coast pinot. Transported me elsewhere. Fantastic value.

Great concentration with ripe red cherries, cranberries, earth and cinnamon. Great for the price point!
