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.

Wow. Far and away one of the best B-C pinots I’ve had in a long time, this wine was spectacular from start to finish. Wish I had another bottle in the cellar, because I think this still has some development ahead of it (but not much: it’s gotta be close to peak). Just fantastic.
