WNH event number 3...new world Pinot. Such a treat to experience the many different variations of Pinot!
Another producer I’ve never heard of. Familiar with this vineyard from Mike Smith’s Ancillary label. This is a dark, extracted and flavorful Pinot. Black cherry, blackberries, graham cracker and licorice. Thanks for the intro @Mike R

Really ripe and super rich, with a gregarious demeanor and an almost larger than life personality. Distinctively unconventional with an unmistakable cadence, and completely infectious. This is the JB Smoove of Pinot Noir (or Leon Black, rather). Massive black cherry, lavender pastiche, and loaded with bramble fruit. It brings the ruckus (to the ladies).

Unctuous and beautiful showing wine straight away. Burgundian in style and notes-reminiscent of a Cote De Nuits. Great balance and acidity with dark fruit, cassis and ripe plums. Really, really nice.
