Verna's Estate Pinot Noir

All cherries to cherry cola to start. As you decant it, dark raspberries and nice soft baking spices.

Classic SRHPN. Lean, stemmy, lighter side. Cherry, cranberry, earth, pine, cinnamon, subtle french barrel usage, transparent palate. Definitely some whole cluster in there. Good stuff. A steal at Costco for $22. Looking forward to trying it again tonight.

Crimson color, decent fruit but lightweight soft style, some tannic grip but not much. I prefer the estate version of Melville's Pinot (which is well worth the extra $5).

If you love new world pinot with oak and all of it's ripe strawberry goodness you will love it!

Central Coast Pinots are delightful, and Melville is hard to come by. Pick this up if you get a chance! Toasting to a peaceful day, for which I'm grateful. #veteransday #salut

Over the last two nights this has been a very nice treat. Inviting aromas and delicious, complex flavors. Great balance. Could be a go-to pinot. 14.0% abv, but you'd barely know it.

Merci Oliver, war 👌

Awesome nose, wanted more on the palate... Nice subtle meaty jerky note too

A bit light for me, very smooth.

I learned after the first bottle this big California Pinot needs at least an hour's decanting before it hits your lips. Much more well-balanced with excellent earth and cherry notes.
