This wine is a wonderful example of Doctor's Vineyard from the Santa Lucia Highlands. It's a richer style Pinot Noir, that beautifully expresses riper fruits, elegant tannins, and touches of oak. Great wine for the 4th!

Dark fruit and sense of sweet. Some ash on the nose? Concentrated fruits but balanced well. Very enjoyable. Tasted along side a Carneros.

At $30 this is one of the best Pinot values I've had for some time. Light fruit on the nose, sweet cherry cola palate. Just a touch of oak- tannins are all set. Maybe a touch sweet, but a really nice wine.
