89 Points

Thursday, January 27, 2022 - A welcome green gold hue with a stony chalky nose with citrus pith, verbena and subtle floras, but mostly stone. There is a touch of matchstick, but it's subtle at this point. On the palate, it's a chiseled, stony wine with a little pointy elbows with more citrus pith, asian pear, oyster shell and chalk. Drinking it is like licking the mother rock. Tightly coiled at first, toothsome, with the acid a bit out of balance at first. This is not about fruit, rather to steal Jeremy's term it is about geologic matter. A stern wine for rock heads that has a little bit of a hollow midpalate. It cleaned up and gained little depth and came together a bit over three days, but did not lose its sense of internal dissonance. I love acid and stone driven wines, and really like PYCM's wines in general. This wine: I like it, don't love it. I don't think this a phase in this bottling. YMMV.
