The 2015 Pinot Noir from Iona has a delightful red cherry, cranberry and bergamot scented bouquet that seems inspired by Pommard. The palate is fresh and full of tension, clearly sculpted by Elgin’s cool climate, with lovely balance of fruit concentration and weightlessness. $25.00 (Neal Martin, Vinous, February 2019)

Maybe it's because it's been so long since we had a good pinot, but this was quite exceptional. Very light color, almost like a rosé. Bone-dry tart cherry with delicate earthy mushroom undertones. Firm tannins and long finish.

13.5%. Looks to me like unfiltered. Very light color. Earthy and mushroomy nose. Dark Raspberries cranberries black tea - its a touch bitter - limes. Well made with complexity and therefore a very! good value for 30$ at the 3rd corner in Encinitas, CA. Drink now or give it a couple of years.
