Brettanomyces leaps from the glass upon opening, persisting over the course of an hour and beyond, not detected in previous btls of this wine. Green cow pie and leathery, reminiscent of corkiness, but different (IMO) in that it lingers on the finish, but not on the prolonged aftertaste. Tasted alongside VML's 2014 Cresta Vyd Pinot, my last bottle of this wine from Thomas George.

Green Valley fruit and tannins are unexpectedly already resolved and ready to drink, monolithic medium cherry ruling the day. Won't get any better over the next 3-5 yrs, will just take on more advanced notes. We'll see.

Average Pinot. Strong cherry taste. Lacks richness and finesse to rate any higher.

Pinot on the River, tasty, rich, time to enjoy, barnyard nose helped score.
