Bright reddish purple. Thin and translucent in the glass. High pitched perfume in the nose. Almost over the top. Candied fruit, red berries, rhubarb and a little greenness. In the mouth, not bad but a bit of heat. Perfect wine for some of the guests today.

Excellent Pinot once it opens. Pop it day before, give it plenty of air, and you'll be rewarded for your patience.

Not only holding up but showing nicely! Great heady aromatics, kind of like a dirty hippie wearing cologne

I couldn’t pass up picking up a bottle of the “Sideways” 20th anniversary bottling of Hitching Post’s Highliner. Aside from the movie recognition, it’s a damn good Pinot, though a bit heavier in style than others. Vivid, fresh flavors of cranberry and cherry with a bit of spice. Delicious. Fruit sourced from three different vineyards in Santa Barbara County. 100% Pinot Noir. 4/28/25.

Tighter than a Nun’s… Medium ruby color. Aromas of cherry, cranberry and oak. A little high alcohol concentration at first. Needs to open up a bit. Tasty red fruit with a oaky finish.
