Enjoyed finally tasting this Sebastopol grown delight. Husband and wife grape growing duo Pamela and Glen Gunsalus farm 10 acres of some of the most picturesque Pinot Noir in Sonoma County.

A friend brought this 2017 Pinot to go with sushi which it did beautifully. Silky finish. Really easy to drink. Loved it. Surprised to see it was 14.8% alcohol.

If you can find it, get your hands on this wine. I am feeling very lucky to be graced with it tonight

2 hr decant shows some really nice Bing cherries and cranberries, with darker blackberry fruit and bramble later on palate. Yum. 2009 vintage.
