Bigger style Pinot, but surprisingly still holding up. Dried raspberry, cherry, cola, tobacco, earth, rubber and nice acid.

Lovely expression of the vintage and one of my favorite Santa Maria Valley vineyards. 14% ABV.

Browned edges in color with a hot nose and some raisiny notes. On the palate, big, alcoholic and a bit tired. Probably a fair bit past it’s best.

What a lovely Pinot! We were having Thai food so this paired very well since we had Red Curry and Pad Thai. A little earthy at first, some tobacco, but the fruits came forward as it opened and I tasted strawberry and raspberry coming through. It had a nice acidity to it so it didn't feel too heavy and got better as the bottle was open and still on the same glass. One to savor for sure!

Vibrant red in color. Bright red fruits on the palate with a hint of earthiness.

Juicy cherry, pomegranate flavors and a hint of dried sage in aromas. Good structure and nice ABV at 13.9%. Medium plus body with nice finish.
