2023. Fairly robust Pinot. Classic Pinot notes with some real grip. Tasty but not particularly complex. Drinkable.

Ruby color with perfumed aromas of fruit, floral and earthy spice. On the palate flavors of strawberry and cherry with cola, floral notes and hints of oak. Fine youthful tannins, medium finish, ending with fruit, spice and earthy notes.

So good! Great value. Fresh and tangy with some nice earthy and spicy notes.

2024 vintage. Light-medium/medium body. Slightly more tart on the finish than the previous vintage. That’s not necessarily a bad thang. 4.8.26.

I’m impressed. Young, fresh, good amount of fruit, cola, spices, good acidity, red apple skin, strawberry. Love it for the price.
