Tuesday, July 25, 2023 - Retail $40. Under screw cap. I first tasted this nearly two years ago as part of the Fourth Annual Blind Tasting of American Pinot Noir. While I liked it back then, it was a bit difficult to place as it was more secondary and tertiary aromas and flavors, which was a bit odd for a two-year-old wine. Now, with another (nearly) two years in the bottle, it makes a little more sense. Those meaty characteristics are certainly still there, but the fruit is more readily accessible and plays a larger role. I have never visited the winery, but I think that needs to change as it is part of the old(ish) guard in the valley (established 1987) and consistently turns out solid wines.
