Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, December 13, 2023 - shared with pat at selkirk manor. i continue to prune the cellar of bottles with past due drink by dates. i selected this bottle to drink while participating in an adam lee zoom meeting devoted to a discussion of recent sta. rita hills vintages. i was first introduced to this producer at a pinot festival held at city winery about ten years ago. i almost passed it up because of the modest exhibit table with no other tasters at the table. since the lines at more well known producers were intolerable, i took advantage of the situation and feel most fortunate to have done so. tonite's bottle offered a wonderful experience, which brought back fond memories of the initial mmoment of discovery, this is probably the second best pinot which i have had coming from this ava and among the top five in my overall experience. the bottle has an impressive wax capsule. this wine was in a perfect state of evolution. well balanced, with all elements in harmony. tannins fully resolved. flavor profile dominated by bright red cherry fruit. medium body and finish. i need to look at more recent vintages.
