Juicy and bright red fruit- cherry and raspberry; earth notes of limestone, chalk, mushroom; spice notes of cardamom, allspice, sandalwood. Harmonious and finesse-driven. Silky fine-grain tannin.

Sounds great, thanks for posting. I’ve yet to open one of John’s and Phoebe’s vineyard designate Pinot Noirs. I was so impressed by the '11 Costalina PN that I’ve maxed out my allocation of all of their Pinots. I have quite a collection of them, and I hope these “on faith” purchases will pay off in the future.
