Windy Oaks Estate
Proprietor's Reserve Schultze Family Vineyard Pinot Noir
Santa Cruz Mountains, San Francisco Bay, California, USA
WNH event number 3...new world Pinot. Such a treat to experience the many different variations of Pinot!
Another producer that is new to me. Would love to seek out some of their younger wines to see what the style is. At 9yrs old, I thought this was drinking wonderfully. Lots of cherry, sandalwood and candied cranberry on the nose. The palate sports a lean structure with rhubarb tart and spice box. Another great bottle from @Eric LaMasters .

I could drink this every day. Beautiful translucent ruby color. Nose of raspberries, orange peel, and sandalwood. Pure, weightless, and exquisitely balanced on the palate. Stylistically more on the delicate side of the range of Pinot Noir. No trace of alcohol heat, nothing out of place - just lovely.

Red and dark fruits framed in acid with a touch of toasty oak on the finish.

What a beautiful wine, elegant all the way around. It can definitely go for another five years easily.
