Lovely, exemplary purity of fruit on the nose; pie cherries and fresh strawberries. Admirably light and delicate, but delivers very energetic and persistent flavors off of this light platform. Symmetrical finish; not only a wine made with great skill, but also great style and taste. One of the handful of best young California Pinots I’ve tasted in recent years. Platinum Award winner at the 2013 San Diego International Wine Competition.
