The fruit on the nose ripped the doorframe out of the closet. Vibrant, alive and focused. Great Russian River Valley ambassador. Classy.

A great, classic Pinot from Russian River. A lot of strawberry on the nose...cranberry, strawberry slight red cherry in the flavor, and a whisper of earthy minerality. Love the cloudiness.

Half Moon Bay beach drinking to get away from the smoke. Effervescent, minty, delightful.

Nov 12th, 2018The 89 Point CT average ratings given to this bottle are a travesty. This bottle is much more deserving. Definitely not your fruit in the face Pinot. This is more of a dried red fruit, pie spice in the middle, very long finish kind of pinot. The fruit is ever-present, just in a different kind of way . This is more of a brambly type of pinot, yet remaining rather soft from the front to the finish. Rather intriguing, and left you guessing from the start to the finish. If I had another case of this, I would consider myself unworthy!

Full bodied, slightly fruity hints but a well rounded wine. Went well with a rib eye
