So delicious. Cranberries to ripe plum hints of chocolate and savory. It's young and bright and I can't wait to see what it evolves into!

Concentrated, perfect nose. This was a cold wet vintage, but there is nothing lacking in this wine. Very well made.

On the nose strong exotic Asian spices, cola, assorted floral fragrances, gunpowder, flint, and ripe, spiced dark fruits. On the palate berries and Mr. Pibb πŸ€™πŸ» While not my style of Pinot, it’s certainly worth having a bottle or two on hand. EDIT: Increase of rating from 9.2 to 9.3. Once I brought the serving temp down to the low 60’s it was much more expressive and focused. Go figure.

Solid Pinot from a great producer. On the nose exotic Asian spices, mild cola, ripe berries, and dried garden herbs. On the palate silky smooth with nice acidity.
