A delicious Pinot Noir. English Hill of course drew my eye, being English. The horse on the label is noble and gallant. But what of the liquid? Blood orange, sage, white flowers, good salinity too.

Paired today with sous vide cooked duck breast and a reduced balsamic, red wine sauce. Terrific.

Winery named as a tribute to Mr.Burgess, the Irish Connemara pony who has been around for almost 15 years. Interesting aromas of fruit, floral scents and earthy herbs. On the palate cherry and tea flavors with some sweet spice, lively acidity and good balance, somewhat thin for a Sonoma Pinot. Fine soft tannins, lingering finish. Good now will also benefit from some aging. Excellant!

A beautiful Pinot. Earthy and fragrant with lovely acidity. A baby, I suspect it will really blossom over the next several years.

On first opening musty and barnyard. Cherry, currant, blackberry. A tad too much oak at first but even that dropped away after a some time.
