Jay Corley, came to Napa Valley in 1969 seeking land to plant and grow an estate vineyard. Thirty-five plus years later, sons Kevin, Chris and Stephen manage the winery. On the palate strawberry and cherry flavors with pepper spice. Savory tannins, good balance with acidity, medium finish ending with mineral tones.

Excellent compliment to balsamic-glazed pork chops. Had a depth of flavor that enhanced the dining experience and had a spiciness, almost ginger-like.

I don't love Pinot so this is likely more about me than the wine.
