Black garnet and clear. Showing just a bit of age. Slow legs.
Ripe traditional Bordeaux fruit, leather, tar, licorice, earth, and vanilla. The nose is integrated, so it took me some time to pick out the individual components.
The palate perfectly confirms nose adding mint and graphite. Tannins are soft and balanced. Elegant, integrated, and delicious after two daya. This could bode well for a little more patience.
Finish is beautiful and still sticking around as I type this...

Wide open, ripe and ready for business. Dry and perfectly balanced with fine grained tannins. Medium body and medium finish with an Oakville state of mind.
Should be good for several years to come.

Color and clarity are spot on.

2021 Ken Brown Pinot Noir Rancho la Viña Vineyard Sta. Rita Hills

2nd day notes.
On the purple side for Pinot. Looks like a young Ken Brown to me.
Black cherry, plum, strawberry, juniper, cola, vanilla, orange, and earth on the nose.
Ripe red fruits, bright and juicy. Grippy minerality. Lemon. Dusty pepper. Cherry cola.
Finish is long and developing.
