Light, glistening red. Incisive, spice-tinged red fruit and floral aromas show fine definition and a subtle herbal nuance. Lithe and sharply focused, offering light-bodied strawberry and cranberry flavors that turn sweeter on the back half. The spicy quality repeats strongly on a long, nervy finish that seems utterly tannin-free. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, August 2020)

Lively mouthfeel! Vivid almost effervescence in texture. Light cherries and bubblegum. Soft purple floral violet lavender scents. Feels like I’m drinking Beaujolais.

Very pure pinot, super bright and fruit forward. Fun, refreshing, perfectly drinkable.

Lightish and fruit forward like it should be but with excellent forest floor notes and chalky minerality that make it both interesting and chuggable. Perfect red for Charleston summers. Great stuff

Bright, light and quite interesting. Lip smacking tartness with ashy minerality.

Really good with dessert or ice cream but also by itself. More traditional Pinot taste then the recent funky stuff. Bought at BP.
