Superb Pinot from the famous Bien Nacido vineyard. Layers of red fruit, balanced minerals, elegant all around. Perfect with our Thanksgiving meal.

To this day my favorite california producer. Unbelievable funky cherry strawberry rhubarb pie on the nose. Delicate pale body and color. Long fresh finish that begs for another sip. Truly stunning

Nice fruit forward, a little flat in the middle but has nice finish. Light to medium bodied. Def builds on palate as other reviewers stated.
