Exceptional – “Really impressive fruity nose offering vibrant aromas of ripe cherries and strawberries with hints of graham, BBQ and sandalwood.  Mid-weight essence of fresh cherries and strawberries with a subtle nutty note in the background from the oak.  Dry, fine-grain tannins provide support for this pretty wine that exudes charm.  Very Russian River Valley in character, a more restrained interpretation of this vineyard source, and a wine of exemplary pinotosity.”  Rusty Gaffney, PinotFile, May 2011
