Community Tasting Note

Sunday, September 16, 2018 - Popped and poured, purple/garnet, subtle bricking on the rim. Aromatically pronounced, with oodles of dark, plummy fruits complimented quite intensely by forest floor, cola, fresh yellow beets, nori wrapper, smokey oak-spice and a savory, almost gamey note. Moderate to moderate-plus body, floats deceptively light. On the palate, the fruit explodes -- think black raspberry, black currant, strawberry leather and even a touch of red grapefruit. Despite all the fruit, there's herbaceous immediacy keeping things honest along with decent acidity lending an impression of minerals on the lengthy close. Perhaps the only detraction to this fantastic example of bold CA Pinot at its absolute finest is a touch of heat on the endless close; regardless, this is just ridiculously outstanding and a true testament to pushing boundaries in all the right directions.
