I notice a bright ruby red color and complex red fruit aromas with sweet spice. The palate shows full ripe cherries, red raspberries and red plums with generous hit of spices, pepper, vanilla and cinnamon. The finish develops some toasty notes, minerality and round tannins, well balanced with a smooth ending. I tried their 2011 Sonoma Coast last year and the 2012 got better, if you can believe that! A good value Pinot as retail is around $30, rivals some $50 bottles.

A strong, deep nose of dark fruit and vegetables. On the palate-- its concentrated and earthy. A little pepper spice. And little vanilla. Always consistent but 2012 is nice.

I like it. Not candied, a little too heavy for a pinot. Short, but would be a good
standby.

Smooth Pinot Noir, delicious cherry fruit flavor, not very dry nor sweet, light/medium bodied. Not very complex in texture or with many notes of flavor. Great to be able to enjoy alone at any time.
