Really unfair opening this so young, but there it was. Delicious, transparent, restrained, savory. This is going to knock someone's socks off in a few years...

Bluish primary fruit but still elegant and feels like an early access.

Cherry, with a slightly dank, earthy, mushroom side. Acidity is right where I like it. Drinking so well! Recommended by my favorite somm ;)

This is on another flavor axis from many CA pinots we have enjoyed lately - a balance of black cherry and cola (the bark complexities - not the syrup). As wonderful as it is now, suspect it will be a mind blower down the road.

Oh my... elegance in a glass...smooth, silken sexy cherry with a hint of dirt. No sharp edges, no noticeable tannin or oak. Under 13 % gone far too soon. Light in color, light on length, but like baby bear , "Just right."

Will be great in a few years. Great nose, but too thin.
