Great nose, rope with good acidity. Seems a bit hot despite 13.1 alcohol. The second day reminded me of Oregonian Pinot. The third day still great.

Best Pinot I've ever had. Complex, but balanced. 13.1% alcohol. Rich without tasting meaty. Just perfect. 2012.

Even on day 3 it's lovely. Great fruit and acid.

Darker fruit flavors than the 2011, more complexity on the second day. #sandhiwines

The black and red fruit (cherries, raspberries, blackberries, and huckleberries) is dense and almost has a penny candy sour quality to it. Fairly well balanced with secondary nuances and a decent length. #sandhi #santaritahills #pinotnoir #california #ctbucklinwine

Delicious. Just the right amount of fruit and ripeness, love the balance of this wine.

Fresh and aromatic with 13.1% alc. and balanced acid. A great, classic example of Sta. Rita Hills Pinot. Ripe fruit but also ripe earth. Rich texture.
