A blend of Santa Maria Valley and Sta. Rita Hills vineyards, Bright red with red fruit aromas and spice. Palate shows a rich strawberry and currants with layered spice. Well balanced, good structure, soft tannins, nice long finish. What else does one need? Nice Value.

Delicious stuff. Nice aromas of spice and cherries. Medium-bodied with tons of fruit. Strawberries, cherries, and even a hint of cranberries. The silky palate also presents some earthiness, with mint, flowers and some smoke. Very soft and feminine, this goes down easy.

Interesting front with lots of fruit and a delicate softness. The finish falls quite flat and almost watery for me. Maybe I'm just not much of a Pinot person. Solid wine, but a bit boring.
