  Same as prior note, I’m scoring one point higher as this showed even better last night than my prior tasting

  As a general comment I really like that Dragonette has detailed tech sheets across many vintages available on their website. On this one the interesting info was that it is 40% Radian and 30% Fiddlestix which I think is quite a contrast in styles with the Radian much cooler (and I presume lower yields). At first opening the wine didn’t show much but after about 30-60min in it really opened it and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I generally enjoy Dragonette and am probably biased here but regardless glad I picked this up! I won’t wait much longer to drink my next one, probably within the next year or so.

  Big, bold and beautiful pinot from numerous sites in Sta. Rita Hills, letting the Dragonette team find the strengths of each vineyard and blend. Dark cherry running to blackberry fruit, almost, but enough spice and earth and definitely acid to keep it on track.
