Last of my ‘10s and this one still had a long life ahead of it. Bright and fruit forward - cherry, strawberry, cola great acidity. Rutherford Pinot - so good.

Thank you @Carl Fischer - off the hook Pinot and will definitely be acquiring some somehow - the head master sommelier was blown away with this luscious fruit bomb

#domesticdecember i'm totally biased because this wine is made by great people in a way I can totally get behind- and also because the vineyard is opposite our house! Napa valley Pinot! Who knew it could be so compelling!!

Love El Molino (their Chards are among my favorite) and this Rutherford Pinot is amazing and a rarity (I'm not sure if anyone else makes a Pinot from this town). This is fruit-forward with bright cherries and strawberries, light oak and nice acidity. Great people too and one of my favorite places to visit in the Valley. Their wines have never let me down.

Very nice and clean #pinotnoir pretty compelling and surprisingly restrained for Napa valley floor Pinot.
