Unbalanced, too acidic, fruity but charm lacking. Entry-level wine gone bad. A sad miss really

Nice drinkable Pinot. Light with good red fruits and floral/mineral balance

Medium body Pinot, not bold nor aggressive, flavors of black figs and hints of tobacco. Excellent pairing with Point Reyes steak from the Palace Market. This vintage allowed the meal to take the lead and had a great finish.

We liked this one. Fruity slight dry after taste, but solid.

Had 2011 Vintage. Nice earthy undertones without a lot of tannin. Would definitely buy more. Great value at $14
