Just stellar. Vanilla, wet earth, fallen fruit. Balance of a tightrope walker. 🔥

Good value California Pinot. Showing some restraint with taught yet integrated tannin and a good balance of red fruit and spice/earth/umami

The beauty of Santa Cruz and Syrah comes together so well in this bottle of wine

Stereotypical, yet superb, deep cherry flavors with receding earth. Reminds of some of the better American Pinots. Put yourself into the right mindset before the experience as misjudging is easy if expecting European flavor profile. Best enjoyed by itself as food detracts from intricacies.

This blows a lot of other "Allocated" Pinot noirs out of the water. And for $20 a bottle whole sale, it should be on every decent wine list.

A decent crowd-pleaser of a Pinot. Fruit forward, light bodied, some vanilla and a little earthiness.

Floral bouquet; light and floral on the nose; a little wet rock on the pallet... And the finish is rich and a little dark on the finish.
