Excellent. The 2016 has a little more of the fruit of the vintage but such great balance to this.

Great wine, best on day 3 right now. Extremely rocky site planted in 91 by Rex Hill. Farmed biodynamically. Good stuff

Last bottle from our trip to Oregon. Delicious. Morgan: so smooth, can’t smell anything because of the food cooking. Andrew: Mineraly but chewy, smooth but has a backbone for a Pinot, RIP Chompers and Patty, nice memories, great trip.

Decanted. Expected a lot based on other 2017s I've had. On the nose: bright red raspberry, wild strawberry, almost grenache-like ripeness though. On the palate: good acidity, somewhat broad-shouldered with very ripe, glossy red fruit. Leaning a touch sloppy. The 15 and 14 were a lot better.
