Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
It’s too hot for Pinot Noir in Paso Robles, right? This wine shows why. It’s not bad, but clumsy, with heavy, earthy flavors. It lacks delicacy and subtlety, which is what Pinot Noir is all about.

There are some nice plum and spice flavors in this dry wine, with its smooth texture and long finish. It’s marred by an overly hot mouthfeel and a pepperyy burn in the finish, though.

Earthy, smoky aromas with a hint of bacon turn gluey and artifically sweet in the mouth, with the taste of cherry cough syrup. An acceptable wine.

Ripe tannins give good structure, but the fruit isn’t as ripe as one would think. Plum and cherry flavors are there, but so is a slightly vegetal streak. Pleasant nonetheless.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
From cooler hillside vineyards on the Westside, this lovely wine has cherry aromas with a touch of smoky bacon fat and sautéed mushrooms. The cherry-kirsch flavors continue in the mouth, fine and sweet, with supple tannins and soft but lively acidity. A lush, velvety mouthfeel adds to the pleasure.
