Unbelievably complex aromatically- menthol, eucalyptus switches to damp wet earth, sweet tar. Silky smooth operator with tannins perfectly integrated. 13.5% alc/vol

Highly extracted.
Drinks like a Syrah.
Held up well. Still a bit of astringency.

We love his Pinots. Earthy and delicate. Plus he's a really great guy. Doing things the right way in Santa Cruz.
