July 10, 2021 - Consistent with prior bottles. Opening after a fine AVA level PN, I don't find this holds its own, though indeed it is 1/2 to 1/3 the price. This bottle felt a bit angular as well--the components for balance were there, but they didn't harmonize.
Served a bit too cold, though, will try again on day 2.
Day 2: stored at cold cellar temp overnight. Better composed, comes across as a Pinot Noir emphatically, though the oak remains rather pronounced. Solid B+.1 person found this helpful 3,129 views
