TASTING NOTE: Sashi Moorman and Rajat Parr make their Pinots taste effortlessly elegant, but it's a fine-tuned approach in the cellar and ultra-attentive viticulture that achieve those mouthwatering results. Their estate bottling is like a juicy cross between Burgundy's Volnay and Beaujolais' Morgon. Score - 97 (Carson Demmond, decanter.com, Dec. 21, 2016) Price $ 74.95
