Tasting from #WWSSonoma: Portobello crust and cocoa nib, pomegranate and cashew, acorn and plum skin, lavender and bergamot, damp earth and fairy dust over all. Medium bodied as it shld be, mineral touched like a badass, blood orange suggestive so nice. 💋

Lighter and more elegant then the Sangiocomo, less barrel tannin and spice. Fresh strawberries jumps at you.

A beautiful wine. It allows you every opportunity to slow down and wrap your head around what's going in in your glass. 2009.

Greg LaFollette Winemaker Yum...tart with raspberry and light cherry and yummy earth finish like grilled portabella mushrooms. Complexities... this Pinot could age longer than most a nd still drink beautifully.
