July 4, 2023 - Mike and Jeannie’s 50th in DC.
Fresh and lively, generous fruit, color is still garnet. Rose hip aroma. A little meaty at PnP. Wildly good for a basic PN at 13yrs out.
Day 6 and holding on unbelievably well. Note is not much different than day 1. Gets a little savory and deep dark fruited. Pairs just fine with Dosa.
14 day ferment, native yeast, no racking, 10% new French for 11m. 14.9% -

January 15, 2022 - I loved this wine. The Pinots I've drank from Josh Jensen have incredible age ability and this is no exception. Savored it in the glass between sips. That is the sign of a wine that deserves a nice score.

May 8, 2021 - Black cherries, wet forest floor, and hints of sassafras and vanilla. A rather full bodied pinot still showing plenty of ripe fruit and pleasant finish.

February 16, 2019 - 14,9% alcohol for a Pinot Noir must be warning! Drink chilled, around 14 degrees. It's a big, and okay, it's tasty, but...
When your benchmark for Pinot Noir is basic Burgundy this is too big, lacks freshness and identity.
