Beautiful Pinot. California power balanced with burgundy soul. The best of both worlds in one glass.

Hazelnuts, marzipan and brioche on the nose. Finishes deep with almonds and a sexy smoothness..

Tight...but opening slowly. Earth, berries and tart cranberry.

2022 vintage. Medium/medium heavy body. Nice, initial draw and mid-palate kaleidoscope but a shunted finish. Started off nearly identical to the 2022 Gary's Vineyard same producer/vintage but lacking the epic, back end, guitar solo outro. Brand new so would like to retaste in 8-12 months. We all know how fickle the pinot noir grape can be. 04.02.25.

Drinking beautifully. Dark meaty cherries, wet soil, subtle black olives with an umami finish.
