I love this wine! 70% whole cluster, calera, pomard, 667 and some suitcase clones... Powerful and elegant. Tasting great now and long age ability

Plum, blackberry, chalk, wood. Super tight nose. Finessed and elegant. Opened up wonderfully after a half hour decant.

Fun to taste - my first time - it shows a really nice feel for Pinot Noir. Finesse but not underpowered or green.

Very tight in its youth. Redcurrant and green herbs and wet stony earth.

Really nice! Plum, berry, herbs, floral, a bit rustic. Balanced and exciting.

Ripe fruit with a small amount of alcoholic heat. Not terribly complex. Things improved with about 45 minutes of air. It's a richer version of Pinot that doesn't really suit my tastes. Nothing wrong with it though. It's just not for me.

Quite acidic good stance and balance. Perfumed, raspberry and very nice slight bitterness, tealeaves! Impressive. Sonoma coast with a Burgundian twist.
