Just tried ‘19, also tasted some prior vintages, still not a big fan. Aromas of spicy berry fruit and earthy oak scents. On the palate light cherry flavors, big acidity with tight harsh tannins. Medium finish ending with an oaky herbaceous character, lacks balance. Pass on this one. Tasting Sample.

Fantastic! Drank in Feb 2023. Smooth, but enough body behind it to stand up to a meal or be drunk alone

The nose is pure silk - sweet strawberry preserve, cream, Jamaican rum, and a soft earthiness. On the palate, it is a very sweet and easy Pinot - strawberries and cream come to mind, as do vanilla pod and milk chocolate, with a very moderate, red fruit acidity. The finish is buttery, barrel-y and gently refreshing. An easy going, very pleasant Pinot - nothing distinctive here, but a lot of enjoyment.

Gift from Wendy & Dave. Nice but not a big Pinot noir fan but excellent for braising short ribs!
