A monster Oregon Pinot Noir. Tasting this blind, the bigness of the wine would make most people guess Santa Rita Hills. Huge aromatics with lots of black fruit. Super rich, deep mouthfeel of blackberry and cassis. Plush and lush.

93 Points, Pinot Report (Feb. 2008): "...deep, dark, complex black fruit aromas..."

91 Points, Connoisseurs' Guide (Feb. 2008): "The greatest surprise about this noteworthy Pinot is not that it is bigger and riper and more generously filled than its many mates from Pali, it is that is is equally atypical of the Oregon style. Very rich from the first and suggestions of scorched chocolate and toffee framing its very deep, black-cherry fruit..."

A mere 266 cases were made.

This wine was recently featured in The California Wine Club's wine of the month club.
