I’m divided on this one. The Vineyard has been replanted? Or maybe they introduced a new fertilizer? Humm.......

Nice light fruity flavorful Pinot plus a long finish. Very easy to drink especially after a day of snowboarding!

Heres to Pebble Beach week ending (as well as Valentines Day on the same day) not enjoying but working! Moderate-strong acid, not the lightest weight, maraschino cherry and juicy no earth. I like how a few different red fruit aromas come up as I keep drinking it but I'd like to see more of those in the taste to take it to the next level. I can only guess it's aged for a shorter amount of time in steel with no oak. Great for most salads.

Doesn't compete with my favorite Russian River Valley pinots and might have taken a hit for what it followed.
