Really enjoyed this. For a southern california wine it has some Russian river, even sea smoke character. Beautiful nose, finish, balance.

Plenty of life, but no reason to wait. Cherry Coke and forest floor.

Cherry Berry fruit that comes across with that typical tart flavors commonly found in red fruits. Very impressive wine. Garys Vynd stands out amongst other Pinots from the 14 vintage. CB 95

Big Pinot here. Chewy not thin. Decanted for 45 minutes and it really opened up. Fruit popped, wild cherry and sweet subtle spice. Nice velvety finish. The 2010 is drinking very well now.
