Community Tasting Note

Thursday, March 7, 2024 - Really delicious, and nice to occasionally have something made in that sort of mid-2000s lush CA Pinot style with a boatload of unapologetic cola spices, vanilla bean, and so on, buttressing a ton of dark of warm black cherry compote and blackberry pie. It's big and rich for a Pinot, but as usual with their reds, I wouldn't call it overblown, cloying, imbalanced, etc. It's not complex or super-precise, but it's deliberate, delicious, and well-made. Acidity is just present enough to keep inviting the next sip. This vintage was ever-so-slightly more oaky than the previous, but not overly so. Generally, I prefer their Cab Reserve and some of their other reds even as a Pinot devotee.
