The 2022 Pinot Noir Julia's Vineyard is redolent of sweet dried cherry, spice, new leather, mint and sweet pipe tobacco. This aromatic, gracious Pinot is a charmer. All the elements are nicely balanced throughout. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, August 2024)

Aug 21st, 2024The 2021 Pinot Noir Julia's Vineyard is laced with crushed red berry fruit. Spice, tobacco and mint are some of the notes that grace this expressive, nuanced Pinot. The 2021 was done with fully destemmed fruit, but there is a sense of savoriness here that is quite attractive. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, September 2023)

Dark fruit, Forrest floor, mushrooms and a bit of spice. Round and lush tannins. Nice delight:

Denser fruits with a nice backbone of acidity.

Pours darker than I would have expected. Very earthy on the nose until it opens up, with mushroom and wild hibiscus. Lush and smooth on the palate, with clean raspberry and lively spice, with a finish resembling freshly baked cookies. Really enjoyable, if not lacking a bit of classic santa Maria acidity.

Juicy and Syrah like. New world Pinot without question. Bramble, cherries with just a whiff of Pinot funkiness. Round and rich on the palate.

Very nice Pinot from the Santa Maria Valley. Delicious. Fruitful and nice acidity. Wine Enthusiast 94 points seems a little out there. 😊

Delicious! From NY weekend, shared with Jared with a salmon dinner. Light, easy drinking. A nice little acidity. Drank too much tbh.
