What to Expect

California has long struggled with Pinot Noir. Finding the right vineyards for this most fickle of grape, one that enjoys a cool growing season yet needs warmth close to harvest to fully ripen, has proven a challenge in such a sunny state. Cooler areas eventually became identified; the Santa Rita Hills, Russian River Valley and Mendocino's Anderson valley are all prime spots for Pinot Noir in California. Unlike the lighter colored and sometimes delicate Pinots of Burgundy, California produces many rich, deep Pinots full of slightly chewy dark berry and cherry fruits with hints of cola, Asian spices and forest floor frequently adding complexity.

WS 92pts. - According to the Wine Spectator: Deliciously complex, with a rich range of flavors built around loamy currant, blackberry, plum and sassafras. Gets more interesting with every sip. Best from 2010 through 2015. 2,924 cases made.

I find it hard to find a California Pinot which has a fresh structured taste and feel, yet does not break the bank. I may have found it with this one. It's only been open an hour and I am really enjoying it. We will see later.

In the glass, this robust Pinot Noir shows a beautiful crimson-tinged-ruby color at its core that fades gently to a garnet rim. The nose is hearty and complex, dominated by aromas of ripe cherries and raspberries and complemented by subtle undertones of chocolate, leather and damp earth. The palate is medium bodied with red fruit flavors that follow the nose highlighed by bright acidity. This young wine already shows beautiful complexity and promises more harmony and balance with another 6-12 months of bottle age.
