Guy didn't make very much of this wonderfully floral, silky, spicy Sonoma Coast Pinot for 2008, so we have not sold it outside our tasting room until now.

We also only entered it in one lone wine competition, the Beverage Tasting Institute, who promptly slapped a Gold Medal and "Exceptional" on it and had this to say: "Deep ruby violet color. Bright blueberry-boysenberry coulis and peppermint bark aromas with a tangy, fruity-yet-dry medium body and a crisp, juicy cherry chutney, honeycomb, and caramelized nut finish. Very tasty."
