Some of the body and concentration of a great SRH pinot and none of the price tag. Nice.

Second time with this vineyard. Gorgeous flavors, smooth, and was awesome with my tomato based pasta dish!

Light ruby red rim. Sweet and light on the nose. Pretty standard cherry and raspberryfoward Pinot. Was going to be lower for me but a nice spicy earth flourish at the end came through about 30 minutes after opening.

It's been awhile since I had this and it's still just as good as I remember. Smooth and nicely balanced. Medium to full body.
