Fresh and energetic. Give it some breathing time to shake off that false effervescence. 14.3% on the alc. but well balanced with pronounced fruit and acid. Blackberry, black cherry, and savory umami character. Entirely refreshing.

Surprisingly nice balance between restrained (but still new world) fruit and earth, forest floor and funk. Liked this more than I would have expected.

A great bottle of wine to drink with friends on a casual porch dinner.
Light but has a bolder and thicker character making it a great fall Pinot Noir.

Really nice California Pinot. Ripe, and fruit forward without being too heavy. Dark cherry, pencil shavings and earth notes.

Nice drinkable Pinot. Fruit forward but a little too full bodied for a Pinot for my liking but others probably won't mind
