Winemaker's Notes
Our ‘entry-level’ Pinot bottling labeled simply by a political designation rather than an AVA, this has red cherry, roses and cranberry on the nose. The tiny hint of fresh loam anchors the non-fruit minority political party at the wineglass convention. The refreshing cranberry/cherry thing continues on the flavors by mouth, giving way to the mouth-watering finish elicited by the appropriate acidity and mild tannin lobbyists. This gets my nomination as one of the best Pinot Noir values out there.

Delightfully elegant and refined, with an emphasis on subtlety and finesse, offering spicy cherry and raspberry flavors that linger and entice. 90 Points. Jim Laube
