First impression was it doesn’t seem like a Pinot Noir. None of the funk we associate with PN. As it opened up, it became more like one of the lighter versions we’re used to from California. Every sip tasted better than the last, and it turned out to be a sensational pairing with our roasted duck breast. Looking forward to the next one.

Brambly. Eucalyptus and cherry pine. Dark fruits and baking spices. Asphalt on the nose, newly tarred driveway circa 1979.

Old Edwards inn dinner. Pencil shaving tasting note from the sommelier. Rich, complex wine.
