Community Tasting Note

  April 21, 2020 - Sipping on the 2018 House Block this evening. My first impression was cinnamon and raspberries. The scents were so clear. More time, and more consideration brought out green, grassy herbs, clean compost (yes, that's a good thing), and the red fruit turned more tart - berries that needed an extra day on the bushes. The tannic structure is formidable, but not in excess for the fruit. This is very interesting wine. I hope to try more when it’s officially released. It's lighter on the palate than most high quality US Pinots, but has as much if not more aromatic complexity - even at so young an age.
