Pleasant full-throated Pinot. Tart red berries and wood tones on the nose. Some spiciness. New tobacco, wood, and raspberries on the palate. Acidity medium plus, alcohol medium, tannins medium with some sharpness. Long finish.

Pale to medium garnet red. Love the complexity on the nose, loaded with cranberries and layered with slightly tart cherries, wet rose petals, rhubarb, tobacco and a little earthy. Moderate plus acidity (7.5/10) with a light to medium body. Quite a bit of minerality and lots of bright red berries (cherries, cranberries). Excellent structure and balance throughout. Some slight earthiness in the long finish, it feels like it never needs. Definitely a brighter, and lighter Pinot Noir with quite a bit of acidity and complexity throughout. Does well with a nice decant and no rush on opening now. Drink till 2024.

Needed a little time to breath... Layered nose of cranberry, rhubarb, and wet leaves. Fresh and vibrant, with sour cherry fruit. Beautiful, soft transition to supporting tannin. Finishes with elegance. This can age 5 more years easy.

Jun 17th, 2018Simultaneously ripe and tart, mineral, med + acid. Good now but better in a couple years. Great QPR.

Pure class here; feminine; pale in color and clear; cranberry, light strawberry, roses, minerality; restrained and elegant; no rough edges and nice acidity. Excellent QPR.

Apr 8th, 2017Cranberry, cherry, marionberry, mineral, sous bois. Med body, med + acid, but ripe fruit and not at all austere. Something for both CA Pinot and Burgundy fans.
