Strawberry, vanilla, tea leaf and christmas spice on the nose continue fluidly on the palate. Beautiful balance with these light tannins. A touch of alcohol on the finish, but overall, really integrated wine.

The best pinot I've had in the last 6 months. Immense depth, superb in every way.

Plenty of forest floor and minerals balance the fruit. Bottle age has improved this.

Bing cherry and spicy in the palate. Tannins were soft with well balanced acidity. This bottle was in a perfect spot. 2010 Mills Calera, 35th anniversary vintage. Keep up the good work!

Pleasant. Cherry fruit. No earthy notes, a bit of a one-note expression. .......
Two days later - I think it magically improved! Now I'm getting more earthy notes. I revise my rating!
