Wow! A great nose of those classical twigs and branch berries.

This continues on into the palette with some ripe strawberry and herb. Tinges of that Cali fruit full and bold in the glass. The ripe fruit is very well tempered by this crafted Pinot. Tea tannins wrap this up into one of those lingering fruit finishes, skipping rope with lowquat like acidity.
Another great gift from

Ripe cherry, berries. Almost warm like a pie. Opened this yesterday so it’s had a day to open fully. Nice!!

Ready to drink and generous from the start with bright red fruit, raspberries and cherry that cover your palate with a lush texture and soft tannins.

Restrained and delicious while breathing. Intriguing after opening up with a subtle peppery finish. Lovely, balanced and refined. A perfect accompaniment to a fine rib eye.

Something wrong w the camera. Pretty good. Glad I got a second go try after a year or so while also comparing it to the single vineyard stuff. I did get a touch of chocolate nib.

Sappy cherry to dark cherry fruit. Nice, but not ready, even with an hour of air. Wait a year or two and this wine will lose its baby fat.
