My first of several. Plummy, purple fruit flavors, medium plus body, plush but acidity makes it lively rather than heavy and….a slight bit of Brett or stem gives this complexity.

These have begun showing Brett/funk, but this bottle is clean. My first without the horseshit kiss. PnP. Forest floor, wet sticks, and a bramble pie cooling by a distant window. This is Autumn Pinot at its most perfect. Plush mouthfeel with viscosity like a mild reduction (not reductive). While the tannin has faded, the concentration provide more than expected structure.
