Nice opaque color. Lots of dark fruit on the nose. The taste was soft and supple with hints of blackberry. Good tannic structure with a nice long finish. Best Pinot I have had in a while. Not sure if that comment is more about this pinot or just my choices lately.

Nice as a pop and pour. On the verge of being overly candied but drawn back in by some nice acidity. Syrupy red fruit, cloves, abuse, vanilla and some smokiness. Reminds me of a better balanced/structured Belle Glos. Drinks great now.

Very decent dark garnet. Not opaque, but close. Good legs. This one shows its Sonoma roots with cola notes that go well with cherry fruit also in evidence. Very nice. Excellent rich pinot fruit in the mouth. Bit of a fruit bomb but still nicely structured so not fat, just plump. Quite rich and savory. Long finish goes on for a fair bit. This is definitely showing me something I like. Fine Sonoma pinot. 4-12-17-8: 91/100.

Rich nose of red fruit and baking spice. Rich concentrated fruit nice balance of acidity. Medium finish. Really nice.

Reminiscent of a warmer climate Sonatera. Same nose and flavor profile, but more black fruit and viscous. Tasty stuff.
