Community Tasting Note

Saturday, June 1, 2013 - This is an utterly fascinating wine! The fruits are reasonably similar to those in Oregon Pinots, but there's a clear limestone in the minerality that is clearly reminiscent of Burgundies. As a bit of an admitted Oregon homer, there aren't too many California Pinots that you catch me raving about, but this is one. The new-world fruit, old-world mineral qualities of this wine combine to make it a truly unique expression. I almost think if I tasted this blind, I'd be fooled into thinking it was a Chianti if not for the distinctly Pinot color profile in the glass. It's got some tart red fruit and leather in the nose that you just don't see too often in Pinots, and a silky mouthfeel that delights through a long but not overpowering finish.

This is already great and will get even better.
