Smooth purple fruit. Lots of acidity. Complex yet pleasant. Long life ahead.

A beautiful Pinot with a wonderful balance of fruit and tannins. With more time, it could be exceptional.

This is a fantastic Pinot but, if you're looking for light and austere this is not it. Another excellent example of elevation influence in wine. This was grown at 2200ft and let's it self to a deeper and richer body than your typical Pinot.

Cali Pinot at its very best. Luscious sweet fruit,spicy oak, savoury, with a touch of bretty animal aromas, soft well integrated tannins. Layer after layer of complexity.

A little bit of spice. A little berry too. Above average for our Pinot tastings.
