I like what the winery says here:
The beauty of making expressive Pinot Noir lies in the easy approach. Our goal is to always let the fruit speak for itself, intervening as little as possible. Each vintage represents what we love most about the varietal: generous and vivid, while striking the perfect balance. Ultimately, our Pinot Noir tastes like Pinot Noir. Unadulterated. And bright, focused, and clean.
Needless to say, there are very few – if any – California Pinot Noirs under $20 that both espouse this philosophy and realize it. And none so delicious AND so real.
If you served this to me blind and said it was a serious $50 Pinot from the Russian River, I would believe it…and the critics agree.
A seriously high-class Pinot Noir for the money. And one you should definitely buy by the case.
