Aged in neutral oak. Hand picked and hand sorted. Black cherry on the nose. Decent for Organic Pinot Noir.

On the lighter side but perfect amount of dryness. Not too sweet. Cherry forward

Interesting Kurt wine. A bit rasin-y the next day. Not sure we’d get again but not bad.

Super lean but really enjoyed this wine. Very well balanced, not trying to be anything but just there.

Has the authentic perfume, good presence and substance, good acidity, not over-oaked, pure fruit quality, better than most California Pinot Noir. Not brimming with life and magic and maybe too safe and stable.

My new favorite Pinot Noir! Earthy sweetness, but not a sugar-sweet. Maybe like plum? An earth-sweet-stone-earth progression. Organic too. Love!
