I challenge you to find a better, more complete Pinot for $25 or less. It takes a moment or two, but this wine comes together nicely. High-toned, red fruit driven (sour cherry, red currant, red plum, cranberry, pomegranate, raspberry) with a touch of oak (vanilla, cinnamon, cloves) as well as some darker berries (huckleberry/marionberry), star anise, orange zest, rose petal, mushroom and red earth (maybe it’s the power of suggestion, but I can taste the volcanic Jory soils in here🤷🏻♀️). It’s unusual to find fruit this tart and fresh with the recent warmer vintages in the W valley, so this was a pleasant surprise. Subtle and satisfying.

Cherry, floral, and earthy notes, with a hint of orange peel. Medium body, on the fuller end of Pinot Noir, balanced with M+ acidity and soft tannins. Purchased at Brooklyn Wine Exchange in Brooklyn, NY.

Pretty rose petals and mushroom aromas. The commitment, authenticity and honesty really come through.
