Delightful. Medium Garnet. Barnyard. Mushroom nose. Soft cherry with strawberry dominate notes throughout. Classic Santa Maria Hills.

Was hoping this wasn't styled like other old guard SRH styles, but it was pretty close. Just a little too fruit forward and heavy for my taste. Still a well made wine.

Strong opening slowly with red berries predominating, deep purple color and less body, very smooth with nice finish and slow aciditya

2017 vintage. Earth, black olives, lavender, dusty shroom action. Light-medium body with punch. Foxen really nailing it the last 5-6 years with pinot after a few years wandering in the overoaked wilderness.
