  Low ABV, silky, fruity, balanced? Yes! Paired with the intoxicating (stemmy?) nose, this is a slam dunk.

  Medium light ruby with perfumed nose. Lightly ripe red cherry fruit with good acidiity, earth and elegance. Good whole cluster structure. 12.25% abv. Too bad the producer is no more. Excellent and at peak through 2023.

  Medium light ruby. From the notes, it would appear there is a lot of bottle variation (only 3 barrels made) but this bottle was very good. Rich but still fresh red cherry fruit with a sense of place - clearly New World without being jammy or cloying. Good whole cluster structure. 12.25% abv. Drink now -2023. Too bad the producer is no more.

  I absolutely loved this wine a little over a year ago. This bottle did not resemble that first bottle. The fruit showed thinner and oddly under-ripe which didn't work with the stem character. Just a wine out of sorts. Hopefully a bad bottle or awkward phase and not a wine in decline.

  BYO Blind Tasting and Dinner (House of Nanda - Chicago IL): Tasted double blind. I thought this considerably older, but when seeing it from 2013 thought it a failed science experiment with too much whole cluster and too little acidity producing a precipitously tiring Pinot Noir. An off bottle perhaps? If not, this was an 80 point wine tonight.
