Playground pebbles, crunchy red fruits (tart cherry and cranberry), cigar box, touch of forest floor, and some greener notes of tomato leaf…almost a menthol quality.
Very clean, taut tannins, bright acidity, tremendous tension.
Simply put, this wine rocks. There’s not a ton of concentration/density, but nor would I expect it. This is an elegant and beautifully lifted expression of pinot with incredible value.

Crunchy red fruits with green herbs and earth. With good acidity and mostly resolved tannins. There's a bit more fruit and concentration than in my previous bottle. Drinking very nicely; best to consume within the next 2-3 years.

Tart red fruits, some green notes and a pinch of earth and mushroom. The wine opened after about an hour. The structure is prominent and seems even more so due to the dilute fruit. A nice food wine, but lacks the stuffing to make it much fun on its own.

Brought to taste at a pinot party. Beautiful wine with impressive structure for a pinot. Good acid and firm, fine tannin. Nice nose, elegant. Will buy more from this producer.

Really excellent. So austere does not seem like Pinot noir. Quite unique taste and hold up well to spicy lamb and eggplant.
