Incredibly smooth Pinot. Layered fruit, subtle tannins. Nicely balanced acidity. Winner of NCWC Pinot Noir tasting. Then again at $90 this isn’t the value winner. Lol

Much better than expected but maybe needs a year. Crushed red fruit on the nose and lightweight crushed cherry and wild raspberry.

My introduction to this producer. Lovely Pinot. Still young but balanced and approachable. Blue fruits with hints of cocoa

Harmonious taste, lingering feeling and little bit of anise and black licorice. Blackberries, molasses, and nutmeg.

Young, needed decanting. Super strong at 14.7% vol, yet nice acidity. Felt tannic, not a traditional Pinot. Very hard to find!
