I love this wine. Still young and opened 5 hrs prior to drinking. Loads of whole cluster spice with brambly red fruits of cherries and strawberries. Floral and some stem. Usual GF acidity provides energy. Tannins are present adding complexity. Years left and will improve w time. Had next to a ‘17 GF WV. Fun SBS. Probably softer today but left the partial behind.

Transparent dark ruby color. Nose dark fruit, some wildness. Palate a sappy note to the red fruit. Some earth. Joyful to drink (yes, of course my sentiment about this wine is affected by its context :)

Enjoyed with roasted garlic salmon and cauliflower mash. Big changes again for this wine from a year ago. Pine bark, cloves and underbrush aromas. Still medium-light opacity with medium body, the structure has continued to pick up. The tart fruit has completely faded, leaving mouth coating sappiness, red cherry, and a long tingling acidity on the finish. Surprised to say after my first bottle two years ago I did not expect to be liking this wine as much as I do now.

Really nice Pinot. Lighter bodied and elegant with some light spice accents. I wish I had more of these.
