Singing acidity and minerality. @Ryan Glaab And @Megan Glaab are killing it, and the Pinots just keep getting better (to my taste).

Bright, youthful and light black cherry and earth. Really refreshing with roasted chicken at Monsieur Benjamin!

Noticeable aromas of whole cluster fermentation (genever, mescal, and paraffin). Nicely integrated oak tannins and restrained fruits.

The oak really stands out in this one. On one hand I think 'Too much what are you trying to hide or make up for?' and on the other hand I think 'This was daring but it worked!'.
Let me put it another way: It's too much oak for me to enjoy the bottle but it's a wood punch that makes me enjoy the glass over many other Pinot's I've had recently.
As they used to say in elementary school 'You get an E for effort'

Light red color. Red fruit flavor cherry/strawberry. Lighter than a traditional Pinot.

Like it a lot!

A truly splendid Carneros Pinot. Inky purple with a wide brim. Fruity on the nose with spicy cherries and blueberry pie. Umami and oak aromas abound. Plenty of earth, even a little funk. A bit of cinnamon and more floral accents after time and air.

Light and airy but filled to the brim with personality and drama. The oak is well integrated and the structure and balance terrific. Easy drinking yes, but far more complex and downright interesting than that. Sophisticated on the tongue with delectable fruit and earth. Minerality and vanilla with a nice dollop of warm spice at the end. This is Pinot done right.

A natural wine! Who woulda thunk. Bright fruit with a little stem inclusion.
