Lifted, ethereal, elegant, and of course very primary at this stage. Highly enjoyable, even in its early youth. Delicious entry level pinot from a great producer.

Just opened, tastes a bit green initially, first sips. Looking at tasting notes by others, I agree with the dried strawberries and powdered sugar on the nose.
Drank with lamb stew tonight (a C+ meal), the wine paired 'okay'.

Dried strawberries, as well as ripe, and a little black truffle. Still fresh ripe fruit, but a little earthier version of Pinot Noir than many from California.

Has a slight salinity on the nose, powdered sugar, raspberry, sweet cherry. Elements of light oak are detectable. Smells like a sonoma coast pinot.
Very light oak on the palate that is well integrated. Good fruit, raspberry primarily. Mineral/saline notes are lighter than the nose suggests. Light floral notes.
Good but I prefer the heavier salinity of something like Hirsch or Occidental

Lovely. Bright. Complex. A great companion to many foods.

Drank over 2 nights.
1st night, enjoyed, paired well with fruit di mar (takeout from restaurant Casa Nostra).
2nd night, did not enjoy, did not pair well at all with homemade Spring Lamb Ragu, but the lamb had too much lemon zest!

Left overnight on the counter, and suprisingly, the last glass was the fruitiest. Going to buy more...
