This wine had notes of strawberry, some black cherry, balanced overall fruit flavors, with undertones of vanilla. Generally this was neither on what can sometimes be a Pinot’s spicy side or inversely a delicate side. This really just was an overall well-balanced, enjoyable wine. Would definitely drink again.

So much fresh fruit in this one. Not a Pinot to lay down, one to open in the middle of winter and enjoy the flavors of summer in Sonoma.
A bit pricey at $45- maybe an 8.9 considering the cost

Hard to differentiate from the black sheep by my amateur palate. Both more full-bodied than some of the other Pinots. But very good with a well peppered pork tenderloin.

A really nice balance of fruit and body. Very smooth start with fruity taste and a nice finish. You will really like this. I had it without food and it was very nice.

Nice and bright fruit, smooth through the finish and it aged well.

My wife is not a Pinot lover but really likes this wine. I think I like it more than she does.

A little Barnyard on the nose. Blackberry jam on the palate. You get with this or you can get with that.
