Clear, dark ruby kn the glass. Violets and ripe black cherry on the inviting nose; echoed on the medium palate adding some tarry red apple and juicy (medium plus) acidity. Tannins are negligible but just present enough to -- with the acidity -- make a classic "New" Burgundian style PN. Salmon (Pacific) or duck would be classic, but this "universal red" is great with most anything. Drink now through 2027.

A casual pinot noir that smells, tastes and feels fresh. The fundamentals of medley of berries, dark cherries and Black Forest notes prevail at all times on the nose. It has a nice juicy entry on the palate, baked raspberry and the tarty cherry pie flavors are enticing.
Bright acidity and wet crush pebbles with a decent structure, still tannins stay in the soft-to-moderate range and it has a long oaky finish. Great price point. Cheers!

Definitely some promise. Drinking fine now, but the first glass is young with tight tannins relative to its medium body. Plenty of strawberry and other red fruits. Black tea and black pepper. Nice terroir expression once it’s opened up. Clear Burgundian influence as other reviewers have noted.
