Killer value and balance. Could be a $40 bottle. Fresh cherries, raspberry, tree bark, rosy, stemmy, earthy. Delicious.

Tastes like a $30 Pinot, full plummy fruit, earthy muddy flavors but good, surprising concentration of fruit, packs a punch upon opening and mellows with air.

Well rounded red fruit, balanced with mild tannins. I can’t remember the price but I believe it is a lot less than I normally pay for a Pinot of this quality. WINEMAKER NOTES - Beautiful garnet in color, the wine shows fresh berries and spices on the nose. Smooth texture on the palate is complimented by crisp acidity, and a long finish.

90 Points - Wine Spectator “Smart Buy” (April 2020)

Great wine and a fantastic price point! Lovely unopened, but recommend allowing the wine to open before drinking. Slightly spicy with a long finish. Small hints of vanilla on the finish.
