Wednesday, March 6, 2024 - low color intensity, ruby rim. on the nose this is less fruit forward than a lot of ABC pinots, red fruited, minerally, floral... definitely some new oak use but its not obtrussive. on the palate high acids, a somewhat lean and austere midpalate, finishes with a ton of stemmy grape tannins and moderate alcohol. wine is balanced though firm, has very good length and intensity, good complexity at this stage. wine has finesse, a very fine texture, is expressive of place, is charming, friendly for how much structure there is. what not expecting all that stemmy tannin... i'd leave this for 2-4 years and try again.
