Strawberry jam, licorice, rose water, and smoke. A whiff of green bell pepper and VA, though in a good way. Some vegetal undertone. Moderate plus acid, medium body.

Found this wonderful Pinot Noir at a fun Wine bar with Ty and Cay. Light fruit forward- opens up nicely- great with the cheese board.

Dec 31st, 2020Bing cherry bubblegum on the nose and palate. Light to medium bodied wine with some herbs and spice. Whole cluster... actually drawing some similarities between this and an Antica Terre Angelicall Rosé. Finishes bright and acidic. Could drink this one all day and would go with a huge variety of foods. I think these can go 10 years or so and would be really interested to see where this was in 2 or 3 years.

Red fruit and coffee on the nose; high acidity, low tannins; highly drinkable

Holy ****! This is good. Move over Oregon! Tart raspberry, strawberry, and forest floor to the max balanced by tremendous acidity and smooth tannins. Clusters are hand selected from 65 year old vines and aged 14 months in neutral oak. The structure and character remind me of some higher end Oregon Pinots but with more concentration. Decant for 2 hours to let it open up - then enjoy. 2017 vintage on Jan 17, 2019
