RATINGS

92The Wine Advocate

...opens to reveal black cherry, dried clove, charred cedar and anise scents...silky, precise palate of chalky red fruits and refreshing acidity leads to a taught, clean finish with good length. Energetic and enjoyable throughout...

91Vinous / IWC

...deepest and most powerful...ethereal style... Black cherry, gravel, incense, licorice, cloves and leather give this brooding Pinot a good deal of complexity to match its virile personality.

91Burghound.com

...good freshness and verve to the attractively textured and detailed medium-bodied flavors that display good if not truly special length on the balanced and lightly austere finale that is also sneakily persistent.

91Wine Enthusiast

...the nose already excites with earthy aromas of tar, soil and rock, with damp wood and light red fruit in the background. Tightly woven, the palate is layered in cranberry and woodspice flavors.

REGION

United States, California, Santa Cruz Mountains

Santa Cruz Mountains AVA includes high elevation territory in the counties of Santa Clara, Santa Cruz and San Mateo. The AVA follows the coast line from San Francisco to Monterey with elevations from 400 feet to 3,000 feet above sea level. There are 1,500 vineyard acres and the AVA was established in 1981. Despite the challenging terrain in these rugged mountains and hills, highly esteemed wineries have been located here since the early 20th century, when Paul Masson, a Frenchman by birth, started making sparkling wine in the area. By the 1970s vineyards were growing Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Numerous microclimates within the AVA offer viticulturists diverse growing conditions, and many varietals are grown successfully.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
