2011 Vintage. Not the usual jammy Pinot from Santa Rita hills. Very drinkable with a great finish. Red fruits abound. Enough acid that it's lasting well. Also still has some nice floral notes.

A beautiful Pinot Noir. Translucent ruby color, lots of red fruit on a medium bodied, dry palate. Just terrific!
