Ruby in color with a very wide reddish rim, and medium plus intensity.
Stinky nose (in a good way) that reminds me of Northern Rhône.
Medium bodied with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with cherries, raspberries, currants, light oak, tobacco leaf, herbs, spices, dark chocolates, barnyard, bitter herbs, light vegetables, earth, black tea, and black pepper.
Long finish with fine-grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This young Pinot Noir from California is already drinking beautifully. Elegant and interesting. Fruit forward with a touch of Burgundy in style.
Well balanced with nice complexity, and a great mouthfeel.
Needs 90 minutes in the decanter to open up properly, so be patient.
The nose feels like Northern Rhône, while the palate feels like Burgundy. What an interesting Pinot Noir.
This Single Vineyard Pinot will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years. Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years and see how it evolves.
Good by itself or with food. A delicious sipping wine that I paired with cheeses and crackers.
100% Pinot Noir grapes were aged in (40% new) French Oak barrels for 16 months. Unfiltered, unfined and vegan. A small production of 7,350 bottles.
14% alcohol by volume.

I love Vinho Verde and this was the kinda I drank around Portugal! It was very light and citrusy. The perfect summer wine even though it’s winter! — 5 days ago
