A perfectly decent Pinot. Good balance, bright fruit, nice acid. Not exceptional, but very approachable.

Very bright fruit. Needs some time. Tasted like a lot of good SB Pinot.

Nice and light, but again a bit pricey for a small vineyard variety - but still an excellent wine

Highly structured, will age extremely well but I wouldn't open for another 6-7 years at least.
