Saturday, April 28, 2018 - Solid and well priced Carneros pinot, something more and more difficult to come by. Rewards plenty of breathing.

Nose - Perfumed, spiced raspberries, subtle star anise and baking spice, ripe plum baked, vanilla cream, toasted oak. Lovely freshness.

Palate - M body, M+ acid gives welcomed structure. Liquorice aniseed spice, white pepper freshness, plump red berries, turns to sour cranberries and crushed rocks. BALANCE!

Finish - Toasted oak makes an appearance, but measured. Creamy toasty spice berries.
