Much better than previous years. Still doesn't seem to hold up well compared to their other SVD's. PnP and showed well, but better with time. Minerals, cherry, plum, floral and raspberry aromas. More minerality, cherry, plum, raspberry, light cedar flavors. Good acidity leading to a medium smooth finish.

In general, I have been Little Hill has been my least favorite of their SVD Pinot Noirs. This may be the start of that turning around. This is not the small, bland wine of previous vintages. PnP and showed well, but better with time. Minerals, cherry, plum, floral and raspberry aromas. More minerality, cherry, plum, raspberry, light cedar flavors. Good acidity leading to a medium smooth finish. Seems to still have years to go.

Lively fruit. Red berries, plum. Slate.

Very nice RRV in its style, well executed. This is power purple fruit and less terroir and scant garrique, a warm weather wine.
