Red fruit-driven, leaner vintage, some bitter stemmy tannins, rocky limestone terroir and tastes like it. Disjointed, needs time.

A delightful change of pace from all the good California pinot we’ve had lately. Damp and earthy and youthful. Red fruit, and tannins that are a bit clumsy at this early point. Firm acids lead into a slightly smokey and savory finish. Can’t wait to see it again in a few years.

A very good Burgundy. Smooth medium body with some earthiness as well. Darker red fruits like black plum and maybe blackberries. Low acidity.

Bitter, not my favorite, but a little better with time.
