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.

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.
