Cherry liqueur on the nose, palate is silky, light to mid weight, with more cherries, raspberry, vanilla and rose petals. Hits the Cali Pinot notes and well balanced, very enjoyable, but lacks a certain delicacy and distinctiveness of my fave examples

Impromptu meet up at Classic!

Know nothing of this producer. Whoa...whole cluster here? Spicy, crunchy and bramble driven. Very Sta Rita Hills. Rhubarb and cedar smoked nose. The palate is less complex than I expected based on the nose, but it’s still floral with an added cranberry sauce finish.

Don't try this after a good Burgundy. It's clean but also a bit short and sweet.
