Goyton Family Winery & Vineyard Pinot Noir

Red fruit, herbs and spice. Delicious with the venison curry.

Bright red fruit but not that complex. Seems faded vs. other bottles. Good with homemade venison curry.

Drinking really well, notes of sour cherry and strawberry rhubarb. Good acidity and grapey fruit.

Second Inman Pinot I've had; first was a Thorn Ridge, a big, rich KB-esque sort of deal. This is way, way across the aisle; more like a Burg worth several times the mid-teens closeout price paid at the state monopoly. Enticing nose of fresh berries and wet rocks. Getting wild berry, cranberry, tea, and baking spices on the palate. Smooth texture and long finish, although it's very delicate. Balanced, classy, and many years left.

Lighter side, but still full of flavor and juiciness. Very fruit forward.

Eucalyptus and rosemary on the nose; high acid on the palate and not enough fruit to balance it out, unfortunately, but that's what makes this such a food-friendly wine especially when paired with delicate fatty dishes like pan-seared salmon or pork belly; 12.7% ABV.

A bargain at $25 paid at the tasting room. Bright, clean fruit with nice palate cleansing acidity. Not a super long finish, but that is easily solved by taking another sip. Great with or without food.

excellent... a bit thin but great for food pairing

Bright & clear. Crisp. Restrained, elegant. Very good.

Best In Class; Gold Medal; Marin County Fair. "Good clarity & color. Nose is spicy/fruity/cherries, slightly woody." Nice cherry/berry aromatics. Good mouth feel - a little heavy handed for a Pinot - a stylistic choice."
