Medium ruby red with moderately expressive nose of raspberry, damp earth, potpourri, and spice. Light bodied with bright acidity and tart red fruit on the palate which is a bit lacking in depth and intensity. Would drink now. 13.83% ABV.

1 person found it helpfulOct 19th, 2020Light ruby color with aromas of red berry fruit, crushed rose petals, and sage. Light bodied with tart cherry and cranberry fruit leading to a slightly bitter finish. There is bright acidity but little tannin and only 13.95% ABV. This is a somewhat understated vintage made from 100 % Pinot Noir that was fully destemmed and sourced from La Rinconada vineyard adjacent to Sanford & Benedict vineyard. $54.

"Hey, some terroir!"
Dec 25th, 2014Very nice - old school - lighter style. Reminds me more of the Pinot Noir wines from Oregon in the late 1970's.

The last injury in the horizontal tasting. This one was the least lively of the wines, even though it was the youngest. Took a bit to open up and then definitely gave us some Rubi strawberry and rose and raspberry and chewy forest floor flavors. IT seemed to flatten it pretty quickly, though, kept the floral smell, but the taste became muddled pretty quickly and was still a good wine but compared to the other vineyards was a bit lacking and it’s overall presentation.
