Earth, smoke, you can taste the land. Terroir makes sense when you drink this wine.

Not a typical Pinot noir! Concentration was dark, tannins were elevated. Red and black fruit. Candied flavors.

Going back to what I was drinking 5 years ago, and loving it. Very well made, structured, just getting into the savory realm but plenty of fruit. Seems like whole cluster to some extent. Need to revisit this producer.

Big Pinot nose and plenty of body. Fresh, evolving slowly.

Lovely surprise! Savory, nutty, slight oxidation that worked well.

2008 vintage and what a perfectly aged gem. Huge nose, rich ripe cherry and raspberry coulis. Still has terrific tension and a lengthy, complex finish. Wow @Ryan Woodhouse this was the best bottle yet.
