Community Tasting Notes 21

  December 25, 2022 - Last bottle of this excellent value, elegant Pinot Noir. Has remained strong since I first tried it in 2018, and if you have any still in your cellar, it still has life left in it.
  
  Aromas of strawberry, cranberry, mushroom, orange peel, brown sugar and a hint of warm spices. Tart red fruit on the palate, with orange and spice through the mid-palate. Medium-light bodied, silky texture.
  
  Sad to see it go, but thrilled I found it in the first place.

  July 9, 2021 - This was already one of my Top 10 wines of last year (https://www.cellartracker.com/event.asp?iEvent=46167) and just keeps growing more seductive and elegant as time passes.
  
  Pale garnet color. Aromas of bright red fruit (dried strawberry, cherry), earthiness (potting soil and hints of white pepper and truffle) with additional notes of coffee and rose hips. Smooth and voluptuous on the palate, the red fruit shines through, along with the hints of truffle and coffee, plus a little anise in the long finish.
  
  This feels like it's in an ideal drinking window now.

  December 30, 2020 - very consistent; age has helped this wine; nice nose with red fruits and smooth finish; has a few years left too

  November 25, 2020 - I have no idea where this bottle came from or how it got into my cellar, but I pulled it tonight for sampling. (Pre- turkey sampling). On opening you can smell the berry amidst a cedar wood backdrop. Almost toasted wood.
  
  The in mouth flavors are more cranberry than strawberry, more acidity than tannin tight. It is medium to full bodied for a PN. This is a respectfully produced wine.
