I really appreciate this style of Pinot. It’s very lean on the extraction. Burgundian in style. Bright fruits, perfect round acidity, delicate earth and elegantly polished. The style reminds me of Toby Bekker’s wines made from Grenache and or Syrah in McLaren Vale, Australia

The nose is very feminine. Beautiful, bright red & blue floral fruits. Leaner, ripe; black cherries, blackberries, strawberries, blue fruits, touch of plum and cranberries. Vanillin, light cinnamon, touch of clove and light medium spice with blue and red florals.

The body & texture are splendid...so soft, delicate and light. Beautifully elegant. The acidity is as perfect as it gets. Bright red & blue floral fruits. Leaner, ripe; black cherries, blackberries, strawberries, amazing blue fruits, touch of plum and cranberries. Vanillin, light cinnamon, touch of clove and light medium spice with blue and red florals. The leaner, well stylized finish is amazingly beautiful. It’s a wow! Walks the line of Burgundy with the brightness of CA Pinot fruits.

Ripe red fruit: strawberry red currant, slightly oaky with cinnamon, nutmeg, not bad.

Love this vineyard. Very cool and restrained but plush and silky. Needs a year or two show its stuff

A Pinot Noir from the Lede family. Lovely aromas and ripe fruit but just a bit too hot for my tastes. Burns on the finish. #NWF15 @Fel
