Pinot noir is the king for a reason. This is a very nice example. A bit more pepper than expected.

The winery's roots date back to 1969 in a small area known as Carneros. Light Ruby with aromas of red fruits and floral spice. On the palate cherry and strawberry flavors with sweet herbs, balanced acidity and fine tannins. The finish is medium and ends with earthy tones.

We visited this winery many times when we lived in SF. Fruity and rich, high alcohol, moderate but clear oak profile, soft tannins, and long uncomplicated finish dominated by the high alcohol and acidity.

Really good Pinot. Delicate with hints of black currant and leather notes. Good everyday Pinot.

Great on the nose. Long lasting berry finish with some spice. Very light on tannins.

Liviano, pero claramente California Pinot. Frutoso. Buena nariz si tal vez un poco de alcohol. (PR Dist B Fernandez)
