"There aren’t a lot of “great” California Pinot Noirs at this price point; this is one of them. From a vineyard at the foot of the Santa Cruz Mountains first planted in 1910 and then replanted with cuttings from Calera, this is delicious and transparent with intense richness of cherry fruit and a supple, chalky, texture. Deep and rich with perfectly balancing minerality and a long, long, finish, it’s just brilliant."
