September 5, 2023 - Decanted for one hour at 67 degrees and just excellent right from the get go. Color is edging toward transparent on the fringe with no bricking. Nice fruit on the nose with cherry on the palate but not overpowering. Some tannins still present and contributing to a nice finish. Great complement to maple soy grilled salmon. Ladd consistently delivers excellent CA Pinots and this one is no different.

July 25, 2021 - Tart red fruit on the nose. Cherries, raspberries and rhubarb. Really fruit forward (I'm guessing destemmed or minimal whole cluster usage), but with a solid tight acid structure. Well made and enjoyable cool climate CA PN, especially with a bit of air to the wine.
ABV: 13.5%
Closure: natural cork
Decant: 2h
Stem: Gabriel Glas StandArt
Assemblage: From Eric Lundblad: "Entirely from Moore Ranch fruit. Based around a fruit pick and set of clones specific to this bottling so it can be its own thing, rather than a mishmash of unloved barrels." 20% whole cluster & 15% new oak. -

September 7, 2018 - Medium bodied. Dried cherry and earth. Wonderful Pinot. Great qpr & has plenty of time left in the bottle. Very well balanced.

February 2, 2017 - Cherry colored with aromas of raspberries and white flowers. The flavors are somewhat tart; rhubarb and underripe raspberry with just a hint of herbs. There's a nice brightness here, like there's sunshine in the glass, with good acidity and fine tannins. A joy to drink now.
