Too rich for my blood. Very fruit forward. Lots of Black cherry, cocoa, candied red fruit. @June's All Day, Austin TX

Basic Pinot from all from Estate grapes...really good table wine for daily quaffing. Likely better served slightly chilled.

Acidity is murderous. Not my type of pinot.

Great nose to it, but fell off on the palate. Preferred the Salem from Oregon that this company makes. Owned by Moorman and Parr.

Cherry fruit nose with some earthiness. Good acidity, lower alcohol level, leaner style CA Pinot.

Very bitter; heavy tartaric acid crystals on cork. First few sips were good, then bitterness overpowered. Tried filtering and decanting to no avail. Hopefully just a bad bottle.

Delicious and light and earthy and verrry drinkable when it's slightly chilled.

Bright, with satin like tannins and plenty of dark red fruits; shuts down a bit on day 2, may benefit from a year or 2 in the bottle
