2023 vintage. Tasted with the owner/winemaker. Lighter medium body. Sampled via Coravin. Appropriate oak with plenty of zippy rhubarb, clove and spice festivities throughout. If blind, would have guessed Oregon. Three whole barrels made...then...75 cases or so. Not exactly on every street corner. Preferred the 2021 version (9.4) slightly but this was plenty substantial. Picked up a case. 12.04.24.

2021 vintage. Light-medium/medium body. Subtle, yet enduring, nose. Beautiful length of finish. Understated the entire performance but easily held in thrall for the duration. Absolutely positively don’t need any Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot currently but if I did, woulda pounced.
