Well made wine, great balance and fruit. Reminisce of a Russian river grape, but from Santa Cruz — 4 years ago
This has very attractive strawberry cream, cinnamon and clove aromas, with just the right amount of acidity. Less tannic than the 2015 and not as leathery yet. — 2 years ago

Believe this is the third producer of red still Pinot Meunier, which I have enjoyed. Others being La Rochelle (my first intro to Meunier, from Saralee Vineyard) and Chandon.
Similar yet different character than Noir. Higher acidity, lighter bodied than Noir, and in the direction of strawberry. Nice varietal to seek still. Exciting to discover as sparkling, where differences from Noir are more apparent, IMHO.
Stelvin, High acidity, needs air, better on second day. — 3 years ago
