A lower score than I gave in September 2023. The wet straw/barnyard funk pretty strong on the nose and seems distracting to me. On the palate raspberries and strawberry with wood and dirt or woody flavors. Long finish, complex and layered. Maybe the whole stems coming through. I visited this winery a few years ago. Drank over four hours with homemade chili and later some chocolate.

This wine is full bodied and, I am guessing, could still age 3-5 years more in the bottle before peaking. Buttery in texture and fruit forward for a Pinot with hints of big grape and floral notes. Lovely!

Pours fresh pale ruby. On the nose we initially got damp straw and stewed strawberries and plums. As the wined opened up the damp straw/funk faded. On the palate we have a medium to light mouthful/body, cranberries, fresh raspberries and a slightly bitter vegetal finish. The finish is long. The wine is layered and complex. A well made Central Coast Pinot Noir that has a dusty Grand Cru Burgundian feel to it. I visited this vineyard in the fall of 2019. Enjoyed with my daughter and SIL (J&B), with cheeses and chocolate on a Friday night.

👃 Strawberry, damp cellar, meat broth, cinnamon 👄 Medium acidity, med plus volume, more red berries, slightly herbal, tannins are still pronounced, the taste is big like the sunny American wines deliver, slight spice over time. Great bottle!
