"A beautiful, deep ruby color with bright fruit aromas of cranberry, currant and plum, as well as hints of vanilla. The crisp red fruit flavors continue on the palate, where they are accentuated by soft, smooth tannins. The finish is long with lush fruit and hints of vanilla and French oak."

"The 2010 Bandwagon Pinot Noir is multilayered, complex and very wellbalanced. It features notes of vanilla, spice, cocoa and rose petal. The palate is round with red fruits like cherry and cranberry."

"Our 2011 Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir opens with the most inviting, fresh, young Pinot nose of Christmas spine, carbonic notes and wet gravel. On the palate firm tannins and good acidity carry black cherry, sweet rhubarb and berry notes through to the earthy, loamy finish."

"Our 2011 Pinot Noir developed its complex expression of ripe black cherry, sun-warmed rose, tobacco leaf and spice in cool-climate vineyards near Monterey Bay. Smoky incense from Hungarian and French oak barrels add complexity. Supple, fine-grained tannins and balanced acidity frame the red-berry flavors midpalate and then enliven the vibrant finish."

"A pretty, gracious wine, the 2010 Pinot Noir shows the more elegant, feminine side of Pinot. Crushed flowers and red berries are some of the nuances that take shape in the glass. Despite its mid-weight personality, there is no shortage of depth in the aromas and flavors. This is a gorgeous wine."

"Our MacMurray Ranch 2010 Central Coast Pinot Noir opens up with delicate cherry and pomegranate flavors accented by hints of vanilla and toast. The mouthfeel is silky and rewarding. With time to breath, this wine opens to an alluring balance of flavor, texture and emotion."

"Dried herbs and strawberries slowly evolve from the tantalizing mix of aromas and flavors. This wine is true Pinot Noir, bright red in color and balanced to work with many foods. The wine will age nicely over the next decade with more of the "forest floor" (mushrooms, earth, etc.) showing through. Try it with chicken or fish with Asian spices or Salmon prepared in any manner."
