Ooh fun. Ripe but still feels cold climate. Seems to change sip to sip so being named for the moon seems apropos. It has this feel of candy without the sweet...yeahhhhh something I can’t place. I’ll taste someone else on it tomorrow and see if they can place it. I do like.

Tasty pinot, nice red fruits, plush tannins, very approachable but still has some complexity

Dense dark red cherry, funky earth, cola spice. Nice stuff.

Been a few years since trying a vintage of this. I go for their sparkling wines, but the entry level pinot is very nice. Especially for an appellation that has become increasingly expensive on average. Cherry and sassafras lead to black tea, turned soil and cinnamon. Full on the palate but not too heavy. 🍒🪱🥤

Very classy effort. Warm, sunny fruit but not overblown and with excellent acidity and earthy goodness. Will be even better next year. #lichenestate #swc

Delicious. Full of verve and energy. Raspberry to the max. My favorite vintage of moonglow yet. A steal at $20 ‘rona price.
