Lush velvet cherries... Subtle and smooth. Slight earthiness

Nicely red fruited and floral expression of SLH. Showing little age and great flesh on the palate. Few more years left in it.

Dark red fruit, racy acidity, the finish never ends. Delicious!

Light bodied yet textural, herbal, slightly gamey, secondary red fruit. Lovely at $36

Good but not quite my style. Medicinal cherry, dark extracted fruit. Richer body. Needs acid.

We had the 2019 Clone 3 PN on 4/19-20/24. An excellent PN with tastes of black cherry, Asian spice and cinnamon. Wonderful mouth feel. Classic for SLH.

Nose of stewed sweet-tart cherries, vanilla and violets. Big, round, velveteen body with slight grippy tannin and a nice sultry acid. Slight garnet at this point. Dunno if RBG was a NW Pinot fan but I pour a glug of this chewy beast out in her honor (and pray to Bacchus for a miracle.)
