Dark brooding color and nose for Pinot. Bigger, extracted wine with chewy black fruits.
Fair amount of structure but playing second fiddle to the dominent fruit. Done well for the style.

It’s a dry, sour, strange Pinot in the funky and perfume-y vein. Definitely for the less fruit more flower essence and herbal cordial driven crowd. (Hmmm, I saw a review where I said this was ripe & fruit driven. I guess it tastes different now).

Aug 8th, 2019Wowzers dark color for Pinot Noir. Smells nice, nice with some apples and berry on the nose. Flavor is rich with a hint of cola and berry syrup. Kinda higher alcohol %. Nice coastal Pinot with pizzaz!
