This is a high quality Pinot Noir. Excellent perfume of fresh cut flowers and ripe berries. This is a refined Pinot, It is in a really good place now. Red ripe cherry fruit. Secondary nuance is lacking, but the fruit and refinement carries this wine. Mouthfeel is luxurious, refined and smooth. Very pleasurable.
Super good with chicken pot pie.

My first 2022! It has green apple, lemon cream and faint mineral undertone. 2022 was a hot vintage, and this wine is bordering on being flabby; I wish there was a tad more acidity. It is still good and enjoyable.
Had it with smoked mahi mahi and pineapple relish.

Not sure if there is or not, but it feels like there is a bit of residual sugar in here because it is beyond fruity; it is slightly sweet. Opulent and easy drinking. It has red currant and plum fruit. It is smooth and seamless. Doesn’t offer a lot of secondary nuance; it is straightforward. It is a nice wine. A crowd pleaser.
