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.

Cherries and baking spice on the palate.
Medium-bodied, medium finish.

Late summer berries , currants , a full basket. A second or two to open up. Just fine all on its own.
