This natural Pinot sits a bright & vivacious purple color in the glass.
Pretty, perfumed dark plum, ripe black raspberry, thorny blackberry, spiced with herbal mustard seed, this is a juicy, fine - but structural red - with finely boned, gritty tannin, black raspberry, thorns, mustard seed to a saline finish.
I would not cellar this one too long and be sure to decant for 45 minutes...unusual for Pinot, I know - but it needs it.

Very light styled, minerally Pinot with cherry and green/stemmy character with a strong mineral streak. Lively acidity and low tannin. The herbal/green notes outlast the fruit and minerality in the finish.

Nose of red berries, wild berries, and a walk through a forest. Light, very silky, with incredible minerality/saline, but much greener/stemmier than I remember. The minerality and greenness dominates the finish. Overall, a beautiful, minerally, bright wine, but perhaps with a bit too much stemminess/green (though I did not experience quite the same amount on my small taste previously).

Medium(-) ruby color, quite bright. Medium-minus intensity nose of whole cluster fruit, strawberries, cherries, cranberries, and some herbal notes. Pretty cherry and herbs on the lighter, slightly crunchy palate. Excellent high acidity with lighter tannin. Overall, a delightful, light, pretty, serious wine. 90-93
