Porter-Bass Vineyard Pinot Noir

Yeah, yeah, I opened this way too young, but sometimes you just want a dose of pure crystalline cherry fruit filtered through an icy mountain stream and scented with freshly chopped green herbs and willow bark. Nervy, with thrumming acidity, it goes down soooooo easy. ⁣

Can’t quite decide if it needs more time or needed less. Soft. Pretty fruit.

Pleasant but not sure what the hype is all about.

Put on weight over a couple hours but never blossomed into a full bouquet on the nose and was rather single noted on the palette. A bit of a disappointment this time, but will hold remaining bottles and hope for the best.

Really good stuff. Will age spectacularly.

My favorite of the PB PNs: lush, balanced, both bright and and just a bit brooding.

Bright red fruit, good acidity.

Delicious. Driven by bright red fruit

Very elegant, wonderful texture. Would swear blind it was burgundy.

Couldn't figure this one out. Very dark and brooding, closed down. Angular and harsh with some bitter tannins and stem qualities. I think it needs a while before it will taste good.
