Their 2010 compelled me to visit and the 2013 delivers as well. Bright fruit driven raspberry and cola with a touch of earthy. Not a great deal of depth, but the character it does have is masterfully done.

Вишня, герань, тюльпан, оттенки резеды/полыни, нотки малины и ванили. Полно, пряно, сладковато-травянисто. Хорошая кислотность, стоит подержать.

2013 vintage - very impressed - certainly bordering on Burgundian in character - everything I like about Pinot with fruit, restraint & power

Fruity and crisp with an initial sharp berry taste. Very nice.

🙈 tasting 3rd wine
at wset level 2 course (2nd meeting)
we were told it's pinot, just tried to figure out where it's from. was bold enough to guess new world, but to be specific i need to try a few more.
strong 👃, floral and red fruity (raspberry and strawberry) with some vanilla, clove and hints of earth.
👄 was ripe red fruit.
long 🎯
not too bad , but the next one was the ⭐

Smell: earthy, smoky, chemical, slight cherry. Taste: light, very low tannin, low alcohol, soft but not much there overall. 2010 tasting, unsure on vintage.

Depth and richness. Palette coating without being sloppy. Great varietal character. Headed back to @klwines for more. Thanks @Ryan Woodhouse
