Will enjoy watching my remaining bottles of the ‘18 develop; darker ruby color with pleasing pop of aromatics; riper red fruits (think cherry and raspberry) with lingering finish…still young; will revisit a year+

A really attractive medium ruby in the glass with thin, purple edges. Right out of the gate, you can smell the stemmy character of the wine. Plenty of herbs and characteristic Pinot underbrush happening here. Really pretty floral notes come in and really take things to a new level. Red cherries, raspberries, and muted wild strawberries. A nice bit of spice and smoke wafts from the glass after a little air. On day 2, this holds up quite well with a little light chocolate and more expressive fruit.

100% whole cluster fruit and tiny production. Medium bodied and all natural in every way. Purity of fruit is high here and this is a very terroir driven Pinot. Blessedly low alcohol at 13.5 and showing nice balance at this age, even though this is definitely one to cellar. The palate follows the nose with fresh red fruit and spice up front. More savory notes come through as it grows in the glass. One of my favorite Pinots of this year, easily.

100% hela druvklasar användes här. Den har, säkert pga sin unga ålder, en ganska grön karaktär idag. Örter och kryddor dominerar med frisk bärighet och lätt tanninavslut.
