  PnP. Last tasted 07/2021 and a couple of years of bottle age has really changed this. Lovely red berry fruit (raspberry, strawberry, cherry), baking spice, starting to get some earthier notes. Medium body, acidity is medium+, but it feels more integrated now and seems more rounded. It still leans toward that taut/lithe style, but it doesn't feel austere at all. I think this still the structure to age for several more years, but this is in a really good place for drinking now. If you have multiple bottles, it's worth opening and trying now. But I will save my last bottle for 3-5 years. I need to track down current vintages.

  Dark ruby/light purple color. Aroma is raspberry and strawberry, a bit of sour cherry and cranberry, slight spice, vanilla, and bit of herbs. Another note said mint and I do get hints of mint or eucalyptus at times. Really pretty and bright aromas. Medium body but medium+ acid makes the body seem lean and a little lighter, but it's beautifully taut and lithe. I like it now, but can see this getting better with age since it has good structure with beautiful fruit and really good acidity. Definitely leans AFWE, but so do I. New winery to me, but if this is indicative of the house style, I'll be buying more.

  Light purple color, slightly opaque. Nose of strawberry and cherry, mint? Med high acid and med alcohol, more raspberry and strawberry on palate, slight mineral mouth coat cut by tart and medium length finish. Easy drinking Pinot
