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.

This deceptive Pinot punches above its weight and price point. Can easily be confused with almost any pricey label. Strawberry, cherry, oak and blueberry make this very fruit forward and enjoyable.

Solid wine, a bit dry, seemed to go well with smoked fish and blackberries

I know I said I was going to stay away from new world Pinot Noir, and this was an impulse buy because of limited selection, but right off the bat it had old world qualities

One of the best examples of a solid CA Pinot Noir for under $20. #pinot #pinotnoir #greatQPR

Funky barnyard nose. Slightly diluted palate. Delicate even for a PN......almost watery.

I enjoyed this #pinot it's very drinkable and enjoyable. It is #under$20 and has a great #qpr We had it with herb crusted chicken on a coal barbecue and it was a perfect pairing. Drink now and can age until 2017.

Nice Pinot. Fruit and acidity in nice balance. Light but full and earthy enough for me. A lot darker in the glass than many Pinots.
