A really pretty medium purple color in the glass with a wide rim and long legs. The aromas here are just plain gorgeous with an abundance of wild strawberries and dried cherries. There’s wet soil and a little touch of some beautiful, beautiful funk. My favorite.

Medium bodied but quite nimble and light on her feet. This is a very intriguing Santa Lucia Pinot, even in her youth. There’s some very nice acidity and firm tannins happening here. Wonderful balance and structure.

More fruit on the palate with plums and cherries for days. Subtle herbs and an oak influence throughout. A touch of black pepper and earth for good measure. A really well made, super fun Pinot.
