Red cherry magnificence. Powerful California-style Pinot Noir with an intense cherry nose you can smell from across the room. Smooth and elegant flavor. Not complex but delicious. Worth its high $70 price tag.

We had the 2018 Vintage on 7/17-18/23. This is my first of the single vineyard Pinots. Black cherry, cherry cola, vanilla, black raspberry on the bouquet and palate. Very fruit forward. Given the price, I was expecting something better.
