A tasty one. Big acid and powdery rose petal perfume. Young so I'd love to check it out in 5-6 years.

2022 vintage. Tasted with the winemaker Matt Brady. Nearly equal (and maybe better) to the 2021 vintage. Jumped at the 2021 effort so no room for this one but absolutely delicious follow-up. Spice, tannins, fruit all in balance and verry harmonious. It’s Pinots like this that keep me sold on the Santa Rita Hills as dayumed likely the best pinot-producing area in CA. 03.12.25

Nice layers of cherry and raspberry with classic Santa Rita spiciness. In a very good place now 9 years from vintage.

Apr 10th, 20242018 vintage. Spicy and fleshy with both hands on the wheel for a concentrated finish. 7 whole barrels made so an entire 170-175 cases made. Composed of 100% Clone 114. Maybe that means something to the cork dorks, maybe not. Regardless-delicious.
