November 14, 2023 - Bretty, but drinkable.
February 15, 2023 - Too bad for FF 2009😫
January 13, 2023 - My first of several. Plummy, purple fruit flavors, medium plus body, plush but acidity makes it lively rather than heavy and….a slight bit of Brett or stem gives this complexity.
August 19, 2022 - Bretty
August 19, 2022 - These have begun showing Brett/funk, but this bottle is clean. My first without the horseshit kiss. PnP. Forest floor, wet sticks, and a bramble pie cooling by a distant window. This is Autumn Pinot at its most perfect. Plush mouthfeel with viscosity like a mild reduction (not reductive). While the tannin has faded, the concentration provide more than expected structure.
June 11, 2022 - Undrinkable and flawed. VA on the nose. Funk barnyard on the palate. Got way worse with air.
May 30, 2022 - Little bretty
May 26, 2022 - Bad! First Brett bottle one after a few good ones.
February 5, 2022 - Dark ruby red in color. Nose of dark red and black fruits. Spice. Especially as it’s opened the spice and secondary notes have come out. Lots of wood smoke, and some thing green (herbs?) but in a good way. On the palate, dark red fruit driven with good density and grip. Touch of spice. A backbone of acid and rip tannin structure that is well integrated. This is clearly made in a warmer climate, but is very well balanced with mid palate concentration and mineral lift. Decent length on a fruit driven finish. In a good drinking window right now.
January 2, 2022 - Popped and poured. This needed about twenty minutes of air to get to its best. Beautiful, ethereal floral nose. The wine is medium bodied, silky and red fruited. Red cherry, herbs and spice. The wine is really well integrated and focused with good balance and acidity. This is in a perfect drinking window now.
