Hews line between power and grace, nice aromatics, good vibrant acidity

Delightful. Great, light, flavorful Pinot - drinking really well. Paired w/ tasty toasted goat cheese crostini + light spinach salad w/ balsamic/mustard. I think Ojai pinots are a treat & great value.

Ripe fruit, tobacco, plums on nose. Pretty big texture on palate, but holding up well, though I would not expect it to improve with more time. Adam would be picking earlier these days would be my guess
