Biodynamically grown from winemaker Chris Brockway. Tasted ‘16 & ‘17 together. Ruby with blackberry fruit aromas and sweet floral spice notes. On the palate raspberry & dried blackberry flavors with herb. minty & floral notes, well balanced. Soft tannins, vivid acidity, medium ending with fruit and herb notes. To me ‘17 slightly better. Tasting Sample.

Nice ripe red and black fruit with notes of earthy musk and cherry cola. Fruit continues on the palate with juicy acidity. Long finish. Nice balance and complexity while staying drinkable.

Light, but nice Pinot. Nose has a cardboard smell, but good. Some mustiness in the taste that is good, classic Pinot. Buy again from Liquor Boy.

Young and bright. Tart berries with a dry, herbal finish. Having it with leftover chicken.
