  October 15, 2020 - Color is perfect. You can see the Bien Nacido fruit straight through this perfectly clear deep ruby pinot. 5
  
  Nose is strawberry, cola, cedar, vanilla, pepper and some herbal qualities. 12
  
  The flavors are somewhat muted and the mouthfeel is really light in this vintage. Tannic and grainy now, too. Cherry, lemon, herbal, earthy, balanced towards acidic. Nice long finish. 16
  
  Overall this is a fine example of the region and good quality wine and the experience is quite nice, just not great. Given a few years, I would expect this to offer a more elegant and balanced expression of Bien Nacido. I really expected a more fruit forward quaff at this early age. 7
  
  Cheers!
