Holy hotness. Way too much alcohol for the wine.

My "house wine producer" didn't quite make the cut in this vintage... To ripe, too toasty.... As if the sun were just too present. PN at 15%; go figure...

Pale ruby in color with a nose of raspberries, blood orange, cream, and a bit of brown sugar. I’m also hit with aromas of a flower garden. Not only the flowers, but also the soil. Nice, light mouthfeel. The fruit remains throughout the long finish with twists and turns along the way. Very nice wine. Not sure why the lower ratings. Maybe I hit the right vintage, or maybe my palate is just a bit different on this..

A bit young (2010) - cheery pie, misty, tangy - also thought I had grabbed a cab - note to self to keep reading glasses on whilst in wine cellar.

While a bit pricey this is the best Pinot I have had. Full bodied and flavorful.

My favorite Cali Pinot other than Marcassin. From Scaredrow winemaker Celia Welch. Can't find it anywhere.
