2012. Sappy, ripe, moist earth, graham cracker. Soft and mouthfilling. Nice length. Drinking great right now. Love this wine.

What one would expect, cooler tasting red fruits with fine tannin and lighter, aromatic subtle spice.

Was a "need to get rid of this bottle" open. Surprisingly good and actually better than Source I had a while back.

On the Good side of Meh. Just underscores how small the difference is between excellence and mediocrity.

Cranberries, raspberries, and cherries both on the nose in the glass. Silky texture w/ balanced acidity. Beautiful.

On the lighter side for a Sonoma Pinot, although color suggests otherwise. Took some time to open up. Tannins balanced well with hints of plum and cherry. The Eola Amity Hills 2011 outshines this example. Overall, middle of the road for me.

Good. A little inaccessible. Not heavy on the fruit. A bit dry at the outset then fades to granite and graphite

A counterbalance of bright red fruit and pinot funk, accented with peppercorn spice. Juicy red cherries and plums greet the tongue, flowing into fresh dates and dulce de leche, finishing in cinnamon, arrowroot, and red bell pepper.
