Pop and poured. Floral to the max, spicy and red fruited nose. No mistaking it for Burgundy, very Californian but with Clenenden touch. Still has a bit of tannins, on top of the raspberry and red currant flavours, there's also a naruli flavour, very Earl Grey like, reminiscent of soap. Overall, lovely but that naruli flavour is slightly distracting.

Nose is cherries, rhubarb, touch of cola, and clean earth.
Palate is round and juicy and confirms nose. Incredibly profound, integrated and balanced. Mouth coating mid palate with welcome minerality.
One of my favorite Pinots so far this year. I immediately started shopping for more. If I had tasted this blind, it would have fooled me easily. It's just so Burgundian.

This is nice. Quite complex. Red fruit, floral. Some forest notes. Somewhat short finish is the only mild gripe. Feels like it will be better in a few years, which is a shame as this is my last bottle. Have stoppered and will revisit tomorrow.

Absolutely a gem of a red wine. Blackcurrants, strawberry jam, hay. Usually I decant, but drank this straight from the bottle. Good qpr as well and a very good rival to much more expensive Burgundy wines.
