The first in a series of 3 wine tastings focusing on California wines and wine regions, this was an
outstanding tasting. All of these wines were true to their terroir of the region they were grown in, and all of
them were exceptionally concentrated, balanced, and a joy to drink. No wimpey Pinots here!
