Attractive nose shows raspberries, earth, toasted herbs, cream, and a whiff of toasty, brown sugar. Medium bodied, good balance, better structure, with woodsy notes of spices and vanilla throughout.

A new world style Pinot Noir with lots of fruit and a bit of earthy, smokiness. I thought this was overly fruit centric however and not well balanced. This is young so I expected an abundance of acidity and that was apparent. Lots of fruit on the palate as previously identified...cherry, raspberry, maybe a bit of blackberry. This just felt a but disjointed. May come around with age but I don't think so. Still, a nice entry level offering from this producer.

Retail $45. I really liked the 2018 iteration of this wine (94 pts.) and this wine is not far off. Medium color in the glass with a fantastic nose (particularly on day two) of great red berry fruit (black cherry, raspberry), a cola note, and some dark earth. The palate (again, particularly on day two) is particularly delicious with a load of that fruit, a balancing tartness, and a lengthy finish. Whoa worthy (once more, on day two).
