Lovely Burgundian PN seemingly at its peak - lots of lifted red and black berry fruit, pomegranate, some orange peel. Pine needles and Chinese five spice. The perfect amount of VA is energizing. Acid is still driving and in balance with the fruit and the softened tannins. Actually reminds me a bit of the Clos Saron pinots, with the VA and quite similar structure at this age.

A lovely expressive nose of baked cherry pie.
Blackberry, cherry, mint, very lively on the palette, vibrant and full of life.
The acidity is generous, a very large wine here. Can’t believe I paid only a pittance.

Red Fruit raspberry on the nose...little spice too. Darker black berries on palate with complexity...could use an hour of decanting to really open up. Medium bodied wine...good example of Gaps Coastal Pinot.

Sandalwood, spice, herbal/tea nose, more of the same on the palate with dark berry fruit. Mid palate holds all the California sunshine.

Fruits and herbs with supple texture. I wish I had a few more.

Low abv, high acid, well balanced fruit, and good memories.

Delicate. Cherry-celery aromas. It's pleasant but far from profound.
