Totally selyem totally holister. Very chalky with dark plum fruit and fine grained tannins. Interesting profile that is not Russian river, not Sonoma, not Santa Lucia highlands but obviously it's own

On the nose, floral, bright, raspberries, dark cherries, dry cherries, blueberries notes, strawberries, cola, chalky minerals, fresh, perfumed red florals with violets.

The body is medium. Some light tannins present. The fruits are ripe and fresh. Bright, raspberries, dark cherries, dry cherries, blueberries notes, strawberries, cola, chalky minerals, crushed dry rocks, some loamy dry clay, fresh, bright perfumed red florals with violets.

This one needs another 5 plus years before opening. Drink 2022-2030. @Delta Sky Lounge

Red fruit, perfume, cedar, and spice. M+ acid and tannin. A bit of a short finish

In a really nice spot-won’t improve with holding. Not incredibly complex, but delicious.

Not usually a fan of CA Pinot, this has a much more appealing balance and structure. Fruit does not overwhelm, nice acidity with minimal, but discernible tannins. Glad I have 5 more bottles!
