  May 4, 2021 - Per the winery, this is a barrel selection sourced entirely from the original vines. I believe it was made during a few years when there was no South Block bottling (David Lett’s last South Block was 2007 iirc, and Jason reintroduced it in 2014). So I like to think of this as a mini-South Block.
  
  Opened this fairly impulsively because YOLO. Right out of the bottle this was absolutely spellbinding. I love the 2011 Eyrie pinot base bottling, and this was very similar but...just more. Way more. That’s not to say denser or more extracted, just more intense, with a more wild side and also with more mouthfeel. Just wow.
  
  Unfortunately I opened this in the afternoon figuring air would do it well, but honestly it was best for those first few sips I had after opening. Still incredible and built to last. Great acid. Eyeroll-inducing aromatics that you want to smell all night. Everything seamlessly integrated. Cherries and dirt and mushrooms. 10/10.
