- This is a blessed corner of California for Pinot; there's no getting away from it. Lively ruby colour, Soft, easy, round fruit that is also headily perfumed. Clever winemaking. The only tiny reproach might be that this is just a tad too sweet, but that is to pick holes.

- Varietal wines produced from more than one vineyard often create more interesting and complete wines than those produced from a single vineyard. While we often bottle single vineyard designated wines, we take equal pride in our wines crafted from multiple vineyards. This wine is an example of how the many individual vineyard nuances express themselves in harmony with one another ... creating a more complex and intriguing wine. This is a deep, rich and intense wine, with a wonderful array of fruit flavors centered on a complex core of dark cherry, wild berry and plum. The lavish, spicy oak elements read more...compliment and add depth ... but never overpower the tremendous palate of fruit. The finish is long, clean and refreshing, thanks to its generous acidity. Alcohol: 13.8% by volume (hide)
