Bias alert. We love this Pinot. The style and secret vineyards add to the quality. Prime grapes from two distinctive vineyards produces a big red fruit, with layered nuances of butterscotch throughout.

Love every new bottle we open from Silver Trident. Nose welcomes rose pedals and cherry pit. Flavors burst in your mouth like a Swizzle.

Great acidity balanced with tart red fruit. A delicious Sonoma Coast pinot from this small Napa producer. The wine is made for a cruise line (Oceana?) and also available at the Yountville tasting room.

This Pinot Noir is not as heavy or fruity as many other California Pinots and we liked it very much. Nice acidity and pretty balanced.
