  A lighter style Pinot that is more Burgundian in style than typical extracted Cali Pinot. While I won’t go so far as to say this could be confused in a blind tasting for Burgundy, it does have a Gevrey quality to it.

  A tale of two wines. Early in the evening at the pop and pour stage -- a light, pleasant, yet ethereal wine. Very easy to drink, almost too light, but with just enough weight to feel interesting. Wet tobacco leaves, clove, cola, roses and dark strawberries on the palate. Very floral and perfumed nose. Tannins were almost non-existent. A couple of hours later, boom! The tannins join in on the party and the fruit profile all of sudden gets very dark and brooding. Will be interesting to see what this wine looks like with a few more years in the cellar.
