I'm not sure about this one.. I remember loving it in the tasting room back in 2015, but I was little disappointed when I opened it today. The colour is rich; darker than most Pinots that I've tried. The nose is strong; earthy and sour plum? I think that's what I found a little off-putting. The mouthfeel is medium to heavy, the tannins are smooth and the acidity seems balanced, but that sourness dominates everything. I was just confused by this wine...

Very lifted aromatic nose, with perfume of roses, raspberry and strawberry. Quite rich, sweet and ripe on the palate - delicious!. Medium body, zingy acidity, with a medium plus finish and moderate complexity. In addition to the primary fruits noted on the nose, there are some tertiary notes of bramble, forest floor and farmyard.

Generic CA PN. Had while in Manhattan, with no good wine stores in the immediate vicinity on a hot and rainy day. Standard cherry and cola notes. A bit too much alcohol and fruit, and not enough earth or acidity.

As someone noted, a CA PN. Not the luciousness as an OR PN, but quite nice. Would buy more.
