Surprisingly young 1999 vintage, little Pinot Noir character but excellent California Red. No magic, no finesse but plenty of body, oak and good material, with good acidity. Lack of artificiality and superficialness makes it great, unlike most vain and vapid California Reds.

Yummy. Bright cherry, hint of vanilla. Crisp acidity. Long finish. No hard edges.

I love this Pinot! The spice on the finish is perfect. This is a nice well-balanced Pinot.

Showing secondary aromas black fruits and spice. Balanced and concentrated. Should continue to improve.
