In our binary world- this is a feminine format. Pinot weight and body with East Coast fruit expression. Nice aromatics couple with punchy acidic flow. The type of plummy acid that make the mouthfeel “float” with a grace more impactful than the actual fruit. Compelling, especially with the right cuisine ;) 1 bottle remains - target 2026? 91 pt because it’s NC and relatively weighted — 3 years ago

🔥 love this stuff, legit NC CF which I’ve had through the years and it is just getting better and better. Such freshness, vivid flavors: just picked cherries, florals, sweet herbaceous notes, white pepper, varietally correct. Med weight, structured but pliable tannins, juicy acidity really conveying flavors thru to impressive finish and all for $15 — 8 months ago
A bit of rollercoaster ride…the aromatics throw you what looks like a fastball, however it’s a 2-seam splitter ;) still evaluating…. — 3 years ago
Nice NC wine... if you like Pinot Noir. Enjoyable. — 4 years ago
While the acid edge has dull a bit, this was full of life/flavor: lime & white grapefruit with a honeydew viscous body. The ‘17 is a 92pt version, tho! — 5 years ago

Fantastic build is almost 9yrs old. Sangratino is the star here…the tannins have rounded, yet the acid and mid-palate weight is perfect. Dark chocolate and raspberry/sweet pomp delight. — 5 months ago
