Pretty nice Pinot, very aromatic with baking cherries, earth and oak spice, pretty oaky and lush on the palate, tasty stuff but I think I still prefer the Anderson valley.

Earthy but with a balance of femininity that I love in pinots ❤️

A good amount of spice and minty quality to the black raspberry fruit nice complexity on the nose. Smooth and velvety texture with nice spice and that minty note at the end. Finish 40+ excellent

Lots of minerality and earthy flavors which, at times, seemed to overwhelm lighter berries.

Mineral, spice and raspberry with a touch of smoke. Low acidity and great balance.

Nice Pinot! Smoky, yet light at the same time. Berries on the tongue with a spice and smoke, very nice

Solid Pinot that breaks the mold of what you might expect. Rich aromas of jams and a smokiness but a light body with more acidity than expected.
