Excellent length and persistence on this wine. While still very primary and fruit forward, it shows potential for the future with short term aging. I recommend a 1 hour decant to allow a bit of noticeable alcohol on the finish to blow off.

Wow, this is extraordinary. Powerful, intense and layered extraction. Profound. Being young it’s a vibrant purple, also very full-bodied with viscous legs. The nose is blockbuster; smoke, rubber, cherry liqueur, subtle herbaceous green note...awesome. The palate is already delicious, rich but balanced with a long finish. It attacks the palate...this will be amazing in a couple years.

Bolder than most other Pinot. Excellent wine, same as prior note.

Very pleasing, well settled with a little aging. Winery description spot on. Boysenberry, vanilla with a slight earthy tone. Excellent smooth finish.

It has the discipline of a good burgundy but the power and fruit from California.
