Peaking now and should plateau well for at least several years. Yummy.

Not among my favorite vintages of this wine but thoroughly agreeable when the food hit the table.

Shows a youthful step for an 8-year old Cali Pinot. Having had an abysmal visit back in 2016, I’m predisposed not to like this wine, but gosh it’s good. @Navarro Vineyards

2014, after 15 mins or so of decanting it was beautiful in all the deep end pinot noir ways!

Pretty good. But given it’s bought on futures and is their best Pinot, it’s lacking in luster. Should be better. Still, pretty fruit.

Consistent wow. Impressive red berry blends with barnyard overtones.

Navarro's high end Pinot bottling. What differentiates this from their other wines is the gratuitous use of new French oak. It is starting to integrate, and this probably needs a few more years to show its best. That said, l would prefer less oak.
