1. This is, I believe, Mike's only PinotNoir that he's made. Not at all sure why he wanted to try his hand at a Pinot. But he did a very good job at it. Tastes like a Pinot made by a Zin producer & very much in a style you'd expect from Mike.

Tom,

I'm holding a bottle of this. Just curious about the oak on this. From your description that is more of an oak influence than I'm used to seeing (tasting) in Mike's wines.
