Well, well, well....my second bottle of Occidental Pinot in as many weeks. I got to say these are awesome wines. Given the growing challenges in 2011 in Sonoma and Napa counties, I can say this is one of my favs from the vintage!

Awesome experience this 2013 Pinot! Rich Berry fruit on the nose with Gobs of fruit flavors in mouth. Stunning first time for me with this Vyd . After opening each glass just gets better and better! I give this amazing wine a 98 in my book! CB Tried on Sunday Memorial Weekend with family!

Best Pinot Noir that I have tasted this year! Awesome grape juice. Went well with the signature toro plate at Morimoto’s in Napa.

Bright and clear red fruit with a refreshing amount of acidity to back it up. Some nice herbal notes too.
