An excellent pinot with notes of black raspberry, cherry, plum with hint of spice and damp earth. Very expressive fruit with soft, well integrated tannins. Medium finish. Paired with grilled Copper River Salmon.

Pinot Tasting and Dinner at the Tates: The first thing that hit me was the color. It was much darker than the first two Pinots of the night. It was almost opaque; deep red/purple. Nose: Dried fruit Palate: Peppery (especially at the end). Red fruit (raspberry?). It seemed to have a mid palate gap. It is a hearty Pinot - big and bold. 14.4ABV

Very similar to my notes from last time. The nose is all fruit and stones. Juicy and lush on the palate with acidity and tannin present but in balance. A treat for sure.

Great forward fruit. Pop and pour. Delight with steaks. Nose, color, density all terrific should be nice for years to come.

Exceptional, right out of the bottle. Minerality, cherry, blackberry on the nose. Rich mid-palate, we’ll-balanced. Very long finish.
