The Wine Enthusiast says:

This wine has a delicious, appetizing, tart cherry character supported by firm tannins and good acidity, so it's lively on the palate. Touches of baking spices add to the vivid strawberry flavors.

And the winery:

This North Coast Pinot Noir shows notes of cherry pie, cocoa and black tea along with pomegranate, plum and orange zest flavors for a rich, complex, endlessly alluring red.

And Burghound – who rates this over some quite famous Pinots at literally 8 times its price:

A slightly more complex nose combines notes of red and dark pinot fruit with more evident spice nuances. Once again there is a certain tenderness to the medium weight and attractively textured flavors that also conclude in a more noticeable bitter pit fruit character on the mildly drying finish. This could be drunk now or aged for a year or two first.

And he’s right: this review was in 2020, and this Pinot is even finer now: softer, more pliant and more lovely.

What an insane bargain in quality California Pinot Noir!
