Sta. Rita Hills, Central Coast, California, USA
Fess surely knows how to do Burgundian wine in the California style. The nose is a cool breeze, saline and fresh in ways that other wines are not. The palate is fresh and fruit forward, some people may say to a fault. I don't. This is a fantastic pinot.

Nice drinkable Pinot. Some forward fruit and notes of caramel.
