Do yourself a favor and allow this wine to decant for at least 2 hours if not longer. Decanted for an hour believing this would be enough time for the wine to open up. At first I was not that impressed. Very bland no tannins, it wasn't horrible but it was anything to write home about. At the time I didn't think I would purchase this wine again. We left it decanting, believing we would not finish drinking it, and opened up a Pinot Noir we new and trusted. We finished that bottle and went back to this wine just to see if anything had changed. Wow! It had completely changed! It had more of a full body and it delicately wrapped itself around the tongue leaving a lingering great taste. All the things I love from my wines. Now, I will definitely purchase this wine again. So note to self...in the future, if a wine is bland, give it time, it might just surprise me.

Fantastic Pinot noir! Light but still holds body and a nice balance between the fruit and oak notes! Top 3 Pinot Noirs, behind Cherry Pie and The Calling

Nice, but a lot of oak. Soft tannins and mild acidity. Good for $19.99

Great for the price! Cinnamon cherry driven, not overly complex, but balanced and easy drinking.

Inspired by the golden hills that frame the landscape of San Bernabe Vineyard at the southern edge of the Santa Lucia Mountain range. Deep color with berry fruit aromas and notes of toasty honey scents. On the palate blueberry and cherry flavors with vanilla, cacao and toasty notes. Smooth tannins balanced well with acidity, lingering ending with espresso and spice character. Nice value.
