April 18, 2023 - PnP and drank over 3 hours. No detailed notes. Medium+ body, i.e., full or Oregon Pinot. Very tasty. Bright.

November 24, 2022 - Decanted.
No less aromatically intense than my last note. Just absolutely flexing its aromas of sour cherry, goji and wild berries that come in stride with notes of rooibos, dried florals, salted nuts, scorched earth, aromatic bitters, herbs, and touches coriander and white pepper.
Striking on the palate. Structure for days with full tannins and high-toned acidity. Deeply penetrating on the palate with seamless textures. Flavors of cherry, goji, wild raspberry and red apple skin mix with the notes of rooibos, smoke, dried florals, bitters, herbs earth and rocky minerals. The finish shows off the structure as it plays out unendingly.
This has a very long life ahead of it and goes best with food. -

August 24, 2020 - Powerful expression of the grape that if tasted blind might not be recognizable as Pinot. Could win over non-Pinot fans. Deep black fruit, blueberry, stony minerality.
