Fruitier than I like for a Pinot. Sweet nose, but not taste. Medium-dry. Not much depth for a Pinot Noir.

Nice to see a producer not afraid to keep Pinot on the lower end of the abv. Nice peppery tannin and nice fig flavor

Candied classical Pinot nose,
Light to heavy light bodied, cocoa, cola, mint, lychee.
The wine drops out in the middle, and vanishes, leaving a touch of electrified pom cran in the end.
Weeknight.

Sultry: like a beautiful lady in a red dress smoking a cigarette in the dark corner of a speakeasy.

Call me surprised. Dark fruit in the nose with sulfury gunflint, earth, and barnyard. Lightly extracted, simple dark cherry and pomegranate. Nose is more intriguing than the palate. Super buy in drinkable CA Pinot. Excellent BTG pour.

Like the nose on this. A bit of old world with burnt embers and some dust on the nose. Chalky palate with dry tannin, some darker than anticipated fruit for Pinot, and a rubbery, smokey mid palate.
