Really great price point on this stellar Pjnot from a great producer. Typicity and place are exemplified with ripe black cherry, rose petal, and good acidity. Smoke and tar accents let me know this is unmistakeable Santa Rita Hills Pinot.

Nice structure, fruit and acidity. Alcohol a bit high though.

Nice entry level and widely distributed Pinot. A little peppercorn but I thought it had a short finish and was pretty linear in its flavor profile. Not bad for the price but doesn't compare to their big boys.

Tart. Thin. Short. If it was only wine served...I'd go w/ liquor or beer.

Black cherry and plum. Really high acid which threw it off balance for me.

So much plum and some apricot in the core. Great Cali pinot.
