This estate wine is both superb and an amazing find. I'm a huge fan of their Viognier and of course their Pinot Noirs. My husband and I have had the pleasure of a private tasting in their kitchen with a great host, the owner Mark Ketcham. This is a hidden gem, but we are now spreading the word to our friends and family to come and try these incredible wines!

Delicious Pinot Noir! Every sip. My favorite was the 07 Ketcham Estate Ketcham vineyard! (The 06 is great too, but the 07 is ridiculous!)
If your searching for that bottle to compliment your dinner, or just looking for a great Pinot that will stand on its own, this is an amazing bottle for the price.
Fantastically fashioned Pinot... wishing I had a glass right now....
