Very satisfying PN. Dark, ripe, sappy cherry juice, fragrant graham cracker, turned moist gravel. Intense fruit in the mouth, but in a light-footed package, with focus and purity, a nice mineraliness on the finish, and greats acids. Everything you could want in a modestly-priced Pinot.

A bit of a chestnut / hazelnut nose, typical scent for me an wines of age.

Luscious body on this, what a great mouthfeel. Dried koji berry and dried strawberry, pinch of mint.
The acidity has held with a lovely, lingering finish.

A deep ruby red, fading to pink on the fringes. Has a bramble, earthy aroma with some hints of black cherry. Quite tart, primarily unripened cherries and light bodied with medium acids.

Cherry scone of a nose -

Needing some time to breathe, this opens up nicely after 2 hours.
Frozen Strawberry (Thawed) cape gooseberry, savory, tart cherry, light in tannic structure, light in gravelly stone.
Finishes with a nice Buddha palm acidity.
Very tasty.

Muted nose with bug spicy finish that includes hints of chocolate and leather. Very bold wine, just kinda ok.

My favorite pinot I’ve tasted by far in a very long time. Deep richness but remaining teuw and being light at the same time. Very well balanced.
