Bright ruby color, medium mouth feel. Strawberry and raspberry fruit, a hint of some cola and Pinot funk, and then a moderately oaky finish. Good acidity, too.
3/5/2023 Still lots of fruit, but thin on the mouth and mostly just tart at the end. Didn't seem like it was corked, but clearly I didn't have the experience I did with the previous bottle.

Med (-) ruby with a garnet hue. Beautiful, med (+) nose of strawberry, ripe raspberry, cola, subtle sweet oak spice from 10 months in new and used French oak. The nose is developing. Dry, fruit forward and soft, with med acidity, tannins and alcohol (13.7%). Very smooth and balanced, with med body, med (+) flavor intensity and length. The palate is consistent with the nose. Restrained for a New World Pinot, it is great by itself or with with a wide range of foods. Drinking well now and for the next few years.

Prime evidence that Papapietro Perry is one of the top guns of Pinot Noir in California. This appellation-blend stands up to anyone's single-vineyard offerings, and also reflects the skillful winemaking of the house style, which is medium-bodied, very Burgundian in a new-world style, and over the top delicious. Ready now, but still lots of life left in this vintage.

Holding better than expected. Still has balance, structure, and hint of acidity. Pencil shavings, mild rhubarb, and red berries.

Very nice example of new world RRV. Balanced, smooth palate. Pushes all the right buttons.
