A bit lean and firmly mineral, like iron filings. I has depth but seems sharp rather than generous. (I know generousness is not necessarily a trait or desired in PN)

At six years, still zingy and fresh. Sappy but lively cherry fruit, forest floor, a spice note, and a floaty sandalwood note. Electric acids in the mouth create the zingy palate impression, with intense and concentrated fruit. In my opinion, Mendocino PN’s usually aren’t the most complex, but they can have very direct, varietally correct, and satisfying Pinot fruit, and this fits the bill.
