This one is knit tight. Day 1 herbaceous, cranberry, hasn’t left the starting line. Needs a full day to begin opening.

I cannot recall a finer expression of SRH Pinot. We are talking Grand Cru experience. Berries and stone fruit and unbelievable finesse and structure all in one place. Acidity the lifts this to the moon against a tannin backbone that demands respect. WOTN.

One of the best Pinot Noir's I've had. Exceptional rendition of the fruit that comes from Sta. Rita Hills. Great cohesion, powerful yet elegant. Whiffs of wild strawberry coupled with boysenberry. Defined flavors of spice, loamy earth and the return of the berries. Ends with slight spice and roses. Great balance of acidity and tannins. Marvelous wine.

Very good Pinot from Santa Rita Hills. Delicate red fruit flavors, balanced acidity and a bit of earth.

Love this Pinot from Greg Brewer, cherry and raspberry with balance and depth on the palette despite being medium to light bodied, with the right amount of earth and spice.
