Santa Cruz Mountains Estate Pinot Noir

Ruby red color, slight dark edges, with aromas of red fruits, forest floor and floral spice. On the palate flavors of cherry and raspberry with cedar notes, tea, cola, black pepper, cinnamon spice and earthy herbs. Full-bodied, fine tannins, long finish ending with fruit, sweet oak and a spicy earthy character.

Pinot with lots of depth and intensity. Earthy notes and dark fruit. Enjoyable. Possibly more so on night two.

Delicious red fruit, cherries and sour cherries with hints of wet leaves. Good body, balnce and acisoty

2019 vintage. Last tasted 6.24.25 (9.4). Still ridiculous for the price. Medium-heavy body. Red-fruited nose translates into the flavors and endures with some pink peppercorns and clove notes on the finish. 10.17.25.

2019 vintage. This is their entry level shizz. Wowzers. Medium heavy body and tons of stuff going on for a $45 resto cost per bottle on two 6pks. Simply ridiculous value and performance. 06.24.25.

2017 vintage. Last tasted 1.10.24 (9.4). Still medium-heavy body. Absolute whirlwind of kitchen spice flavors (tarragon, clove, ginger, bay leaf, cinnamon...) with rhubarb, tree bark, eucalyptus, orange peel and spearmint/menthol. Quite the ride. Effing delicious with just the right amount of tartness. On a roll. 3.30.25.

Very nice wine.

2018 vintage. CDLT style is massive bigly (mostly dark) fruit with solid tannins but a minimized oak presence. Resto cost $25. A producer to watch. This be jamming. 6.5.24.

2017 vintage. Medium-heavy body. Some spice. Plenty of fruit. Not lacking for skeletal structure. Drinking beautifully now. A producer to keep both eyes on. 1.10.24.
