"Menthol and high-toned notes on the nose, underscored with cranberry, chocolate-covered sour cherry and coconut. Some breadth and stuffing on the palate; blend of red and black fruit, with toasty notes and tannic structure on the finish...." —Lynne Char Bennett

"Floral nose, following through to the palate with cherries, anise and cinnamon typical of the Santa Cruz Mountains. It has firm structure and a long, warm, very spicy finish. It's a decent Pinot, though a bit tight at the moment. I recommend giving it another year or two in the bottle. 283 cases produced." —Scott Clemens
