  Guests brought to Thanksgiving Dinner. Opened (aerated, 30 - min decant) the following day with turkey leftovers.
  14.4% abv
  
  Ruby red on the pour; transparent in the glass. Dark red fruit on the nose, cherry prominent on the palate along with some pepper, baking spices and earth notes. Light-medium body, full-flavored. Nice, but not overbearing tannins leave a slight pucker. Ample acidity. Pleasant, lingering finish.
  
  Compared with a 2021 Precision Pinot Noir (Embroidery) that I had opened (13.5 % abv; CT - 88.1 pts). Very similar, perhaps the Embroidery a touch more minerality.

  Straightforward, nice fruity nose, long legs, ripe grapes and dark currant, long finish. Opened for 90 minutes.
