  Quite impressed as this is my first experience with this wine. Happy to have two more bottles. As much as I enjoyed this wine, I suspect it will be even better in 3-5 years. Lots of spice box, red fruit, and chewy tannins. Going to let the others sleep for a while but happy I bought this vintage and the 2021!

  Small US new arrivals tasting hosted by a merchant. Beautifully ripe cherry fruit, expressed à point. Sparked with fine spice, fine mineral layer of iron and earthy undertones. The palate was wild and admittedly nervous at this stage, but boasted a very fine tannic structure with fresh acidity. There was density and a certain fleshiness to it, a more bold style of Pinot which typically I don’t fancy, but this was exceptionally well done. Will need 2-3 years to shine. Unlike the Pisoni Santa Lucia Chardonnay which came in last among the whites, this was a one of the highlights among the reds (which includes heavy-hitters like Quilceda).

  Opened 45 min after prior Coravin; darker ruby; tight nose; medium body; deep dark pinote berry with fine grippy tannin, hints of brush, lasting finish; very early hut already very pleasant

  I'll join Thomas with a note, as it seems he and I are the only ones so far to give this a go with a note. Opened about 30 mins ago, right into a Burg stem. I have this a bit warm for my taste (room temp of 74f) but we'll chill it a bit as it's going to join a small vertical of Pisoni Estate later (we're doing 2017 - 2019 blind). I'm bringing this 2019 for that flight so wanted to give this an early look with my clean palate and quiet setting. Listed at 14.1% and it's all of that but I don't smell any alc signature so that is good, especially at this serving temp. It's got some primary aromatics of wood and berry fruit. And up front this is about fruit, lots of it, a juicy, fruit bowl kind of note, which some licorice, blackberry acidity and some light cedary tannin. Some more swirls and another taste, the saturating texture comes through. Then, more of the acidity and the licorice helping the wine to become more complex. Long finish here too, and my sense is that when the primary weight and youth starts to drop away from this wine, there is plenty of staying power to take this along for many years. We'll see how this shows against the 2017 and 2018 later....
