2016 vintage. North Coast Pinot Noir, not to be confounded by the entry level Sonoma County Pinot Noir. Attractive nose of red berries and rose petals. Straightforward pure fruit, great acidity and soft tannin. Great value at 20 euro. Highly recommended and well worth the extra money compared to the Sonoma County range.

2014 vintage. Pinot Noir sourced from Sonoma (RRV, Sonoma Coast, Sonoma Valley and Carneros) and Lake Counties. Nice ripe cherry nose with a hint of roses. Not very complex, but absolutely delicious, hard to find a more sexy Pinot Noir under 20 euro.

Bright raspberry and cherry nose, maybe a hint of rose, berry taste with mild acidity and soft tannin finish

Nice body. Clean. Good balance of fruit and slight black pepper finish.

Boysenberry and cinnamon candy on the nose. Tart cranberry upfront with a hint of basil. Lots of retro nasal heat.

Respectable value #northcoast #pinotnoir from a historic winery in a more elegant style. Cherry, rose petals, medium light body, juicy acidity, touch of pepper and commendably restrained oak with light tannins.
