Tasted in 2015: Characteristic Carneros earthiness that bleeds into aromas of kelp, sea spray, berries, dried herbs, and stewed cherries. One of the best under $30 I've ever had.

Fruity with a spicy finish. Very reasonable at $23 for a Carneros Pinot Noir.

This is why people fall in love with Pinot Noir! Great aromas with a silly texture full of ripe berry fruits and vanilla. Its lengthy finish is filled with spice and earth. I will definitely be getting more of this!

On the nose, cherry, plum, spice, smoke, tobacco and earth. On the palate strawberry, red berries, earth and spice finishing with red licorice, like a twizzler. As the wine breathes more it gets spicier and takes on a more earthy flavor. $22.79 at total wine.

Lovely Pinot, or so my wife told me. Had a few tastes while I was baking her Blue Velvet Birthday Cupcakes.
