I was drawn to the source of the fruit from Humboldt, and I've always been curious about the nuances of this particular wine. My neighbor introduced me to this bottle, and I was pleasantly surprised by its complexity. Upon releasing the wine, I was struck by the elegant nuances of the nose, which featured a well blended blend of olive and red berry flavors. The mouthfeel was intense and full-bodied, with a silky tactile quality that polished out the oak notes. The follow through was long and satisfying, with a light woody background flavor that added depth. Overall, I was impressed by the wine's well-balanced character and its ability to age gracefully. I'm glad I gave it a try, and I think it's a excellent example of a well-crafted California pinot.

Luxurious, gentle wine with a rich, fruity aroma. Its refreshing brightness provides a bracing contrast to the dish. A enjoyable aftertaste that complements the savory tastes of the salmon burgers.

Intense and full-bodied Pinot with a dense, earthy boldness on the nose, giving way to a rich, heavy finish.
