Community Tasting Note

    May 22, 2021 - Pale ruby.

    Nose: Cherry blow pop, green almond, potpourri, white pepper.

    Mouth: Pure flavors of pomegranate, raspberry, and blood orange, glide through, supple and lightly sweet, before pulling in threads of cinnamon, dried orange peel, kirsch, tarragon, and bitter almond on the extended midpalate. These undergird the fruit and keep firing into a long, long finish tinged with a hit of white pepper for good measure.

    Overall: From a technical perspective, practically everything is here - shows absolutely gorgeous purity of fruit and complexity of character throughout. Palate action is also fabulous, with a seamless segue from upfront fruit to more structured elements in the middle, before everything echoes wonderfully on the endless finish. A bit of an atypical style for pinot noir, (and the flavors aren't always entirely complimentary) but this qualifies as a showstopper. Drink now - 2033.

    96.
