A very classic central coast Pinot — this is a well executed genre exercise vs something artistic or expressive. A solid choice for Thursday evening. — 2 days ago

8.7

Earthy, supple cherry, cedar and hints of vanilla. Very smooth. Straightforward, not quite elegant, but easy to enjoy. — a month ago

8.7

Tart cranberry, sour cherry, raspberry, and hints of fresh strawberry. Acidic, a little funky, cedar and some forest floor on the nose. Relatively light. Reminds me of Pinot noir but certainly its own thing. Rustic with hints of charm. — a month ago

Delicious. Fruit forward for the region and the producer, but it’s working for me. Raspberry, dark cherry, red currants. Hints of cocoa. Well balanced. — 22 days ago

8.9

Funky Greek red. Sour cherry, raspberry, plenty of acid and earthiness. Very old world, spicy, pairs well with BBQ when chilled a little bit. — a month ago

Solid and straightforward. Strawberry, lime, grapefruit, and white peach. Floral with plenty of acidity. Refreshing, pairs nicely with salmon pasta. — 2 months ago

Golden apple, rose water, pear. Big on the palate, enough acidity to keep it from feeling heavy. — 23 days ago

8.8

Slovenian Pinot. Fun to try a different approach. Has more acidity relative to new world versions, and some funkiness and forest floor that crosses both old and new. Not quite as balanced as I prefer, but fun to try a favorite varietal approached differently. — a month ago

9.0

White flowers, strawberry, rhubarb, white peach. Medium bodied with structured acidity. Lovely on a hot day but has enough heft to pair well with salmon pasta. — 2 months ago
