Spicy scent—like cinnamon?! Nice, drinkable, but little after-taste. I would buy again: $36 (on sale for $20)

Solid pinot from CA. Not pinot in the rest of the world. Great on the palate but way too dark and rich for what a pinot is supposed to be.

2019 Vintage…about right…mid-high 8’s. Could be better as from Santa Lucia Highlands and a member of the Wagner family. Nice body, balance, tannins, yada yada med-big flavor dark Pinot but strangely acidic. Lingering after taste. Not a Pinot for me but better if allowed long breath …

Real deal…real value, full-bodied Pinot Noir with balance, big palate and that dark dark berry fruit flavor of the Russian River Valley Pinots. Not dry but not sweet, tannins managed well. This wine is comparable to many pricier Pinots of the region.
