A beautiful ruby color with a bouquet of violets, cherries, Vanilla Coke, and smoke. In the mouth the wine is silky soft, smooth with bright acidity and blueberries, raspberries, cocoa, and cedar. The finish was long and just as smooth as the palate showing minerals, spring flowers and a touch of cola.

Explosive and inviting wine. Rich, sweet cherry, spice box and earthy tones

Easily one my favorite vineyard designates. Unquestionably American fruit with all the mystery of great Pinot. Shows well next to the institutions making Savoy

Beautiful elegant Pinot. I would love to try it again with 3 or 4 years of aging.

Spicy little number, paired nicely with Duck Confit.

Love this vineyard and Eric's style. Very cool climate Pinot. Super young but so promising.

Quite overrated in my view. Overly acidic at the front of the palate which overwhelms the rest of the wine. Quite one note aromatically as well. Just not impressive.
