Inspired by the golden hills that frame the landscape of San Bernabe Vineyard at the southern edge of the Santa Lucia Mountain range. Deep color with berry fruit aromas and notes of toasty honey scents. On the palate blueberry and cherry flavors with vanilla, cacao and toasty notes. Smooth tannins balanced well with acidity, lingering ending with espresso and spice character. Nice value.

Initial contact with the taste buddies screams OKAY this could be good. However, the glimmer of hope was clearly the peak of this wine. Our ascent had ended but the journey had not finished. One path led to flavor town while the other to mediocrity but in the end everyone must go, collect $200, and most likely spend it elsewhere.

Definitely let it sit for a while and let it soften- breathe.

Not a Syrah, this is a 2017 Pinot Noir. In California, that means at least 71% Pinot Noir...one of the best I’ve ever tasted. Low acidity for a robust Red and the flavor lasts...and lasts!
