2013 vintage. Compares well with the 2012. Great pinot.

Tastes hotter than the stated 14.8% abv. Except for the abundant sour cherry, stem, and nectarine pit nose and initial flavors, tastes a lot like a grenache put on a hardcore diet and exercise regimen. Very muscular, robust. A hairy chested wine with a 24karat pinky ring. It's the pinot to bring for lamb, not langoustines.

It's not everyday that your best client sends you her favorite pinot just because... Thanks Rachel! Wish we were having this with you in MTV.

This stuff is absolutely delicious. And especially for the price.

This Limited Release Russian River Valley Pinot Noir is rock solid. Want a stand up wine year over year, this is it.

Great bottle, especially for the price. Fruit on the nose is a tad darker than on the silky palate, which is so beautifully balanced with forest floor accents and a finish that goes on forever.

Ripe fruit, lots of oak. Blind, I would have thought a lighter bodied Zin. Got better with air, but not my cup of tea.

Very tasty and aromatic, dark chocolate and raspberry. A perfect balance between light acidity and subtle sweetness. Great by itself or with a dinner of seared salmon-fresh salad-n-shishitos.
