Cherry nose with more cherry, strawberry, rhubarb pie and minerals on the palate. When I first opened the bottle the taste was muted on the back end and a little disappointing in the finish. The wine opened up nicely, though. For a Californian Pinot the finish is above average on the tannic side, but a little light on the acid. I recommend decanting this 2013. In all very solid.

Dec 4th, 2017Great bottle of pinot. Everything here is what I look for in a pinot. The only thing holding back the score is there needs to be more of it. Really tasty though.

Jun 4th, 2016Blah. Really, really wanted to like you. On paper was a match made in heaven ... sadly, when we met the fireworks had broken down miles and miles away at some on ramp.
Not corked, fruit was nowhere to be found. Just acid & a bit of grip ... bummer
