October 3, 2021 - Ok, this is still killer wine. I am not sure what will happen with new ownership, but there is no doubting the quality of this winery and vineyard. It is ripe style of Pinot Noir, but even after only a couple years, (and not the best storage conditions) this is showing a lovely savory side alone with the mostly black fruit. The acidity/tannins/fruit and completely harmonious at this point. This is a Pinot that makes you smile. Great stuff. Ok, 90 minutes later and this is stunning. So intense. And the fruit is just perfectly ripe. What a great wine.

Good energy, spice and power on the quite long finish.
Great stuff -
