Entry level Pinot. Crushed earthy cherries lead the nose. Tart sour cherries on the palate. Too young tasting for my preference. The acid overpowers on its own, and would definitely benefit from cheese pairing. Screams for food.

Deep and satisfying. Dark red and black fruits highlighted by earthy depth and spice and just enough acidity to keep it fresh. Great entry level Pinot...even if it is a commie bottle.

Very much like this wine. Textures are nice as are its bright & earthy aromas.

2013. Multi-vineyard Pinot Noir from the hand of Chris Williams himself. Fruit, acid and terroir all happy here. #Trotsky
