2013 vintage. Translucent bright cherry color. Big, ripe cherry notes, pepper, tobacco, balanced oak, nice finish.

Silky smooth. Easy to pair (burgers were great) or not. To quote CWC, “aromas of ripe cherry, roasted strawberry, lemon zest, papaya, cranberry, orange, and oak spice…” “citrus and red fruit on the palate” “with refreshing acidity and polished tannin…” I would like more please 😬

Average Monterey Pinot. Doesn't offer too much. Not full body as some suggest (even for a Pinot) so many greats out there for the same price. I wouldn't buy again.

Great nose full of ripe dark berries, dark chocolate, brandy and cinnamon. Smooth taste, plenty of rich berry flavor, great finish. Solid buzz
