Nice dark cherry skin color. Aromas of strawberry, cherry and a nutty cheese. Delicious flavors, can’t go wrong with an HP wine.

One of my preferred Pinots, because one would think that, hailing from Santa Barbara, drinking this wine would be like licking a puree of an orchard's fresh, fruity bounty, but, in fact, does hide those attributes well behind a veneer of tart, cranberryriffic, alkaline, mulchy forest floor goodness.
