Great Pinot and this vintage might have a couple more years but I would recommend drinking now.

Hadn’t had this for a while and thoroughly enjoyed the candied berry fruit that came through along with hint of spice and earth tones. This was good at a young age and has gotten better with just a few years on the rack.

Have several vintages of this one and decided to test the 2016. Seems to be fading just a bit but was still great.

I’ve enjoyed many different vintages of this wine and this seemed to have more strawberries and cherries on the nose. Not as light as other vintages and lacked some earthy flavors as well. That’s why it’s not quite as high a rating for me.

Raspberry, plum, a whiff of smoke, and some subtle spice, Nice balance and structure. Lasting finish.
