One of the best sub-$25 retail Pinot Noirs I've had in quite some time. Absolutely delicious and immediate.

Fresh red cherries, raspberry jam, vanilla bean, mushrooms, white pepper, wet rocks. Soft pronounced acid, minimal narrow smooth velvet tannins, light-medium bodied, juicy-silly texture, clean fruity slightly earthy finish. Approachable crowd pleasure, clean and pure.

Very reduced. Extreme tar notes which obscure the fruit.

Ripe black cherries, haystack, white pepper, truffle, barnyard. Light concentrated texture, silky body, acid forward, minimal tannin presence. Clean, fruity/slight mineral finish.

Has a very funky, petrol nose (that I don't typically love); but, this is such a different Pinot that it is worth a look.
