Amazing Pinot, great surprise, well balanced, medium acid, very organic flavors, high in alcohol, cherries for sure, lovely wine.

Richer, sultrier version of the '11. Somehow didn't lose the complexity and nuance. Really happy with it.

Been open for a day, so the structure from that tannic vintage has softened. Bing cherry, sous bois, and the scent of a SCM forest on a warm day; bay laurel, redwood, various and sundry coniferous aromas.

Light and effervescent. Tastes great on a boat.

Burgundy in many ways with a hint of California.

Sweet raspberry and blueberry nose with some oak and complexity. Mid plus acidity and silky texture. Long finish.

Intensely flavored, and open for business, but with the stuffing to go some distance, richer more fruit forward styling.. #siliconvalleywineauction
