Slightly pale in color even for a pinot, but what a lovely wine. I got that wonderful damp tree bark on the nose the previous reviewer got, bit of forest floor backed up by an upswell of slightly overripe red fruit. The palate is incredibly fresh with strawberry, sour cherries, and menthol. Low tannins. A slightly higher level of acidity than is ideal for me, but it keeps the finish long and strong. I'm glad I picked up a few bottles!

Purity. Freshness. Individuality. Delicious. Brilliant ruby colored with a distinctive mineral-driven nose that also includes a damp redwood bark forest and a raspberry and cherry nose, a hint of clove and the floral aroma of an excellent wine. Lighter flavors like cranberry and bing cherry on a lightly structured frame of medium plus acidity and low tannin. The silky textured medium body is a genuine delight especially in the long finish. Beautifully balanced and intriguing

Brian didn’t like. It’s not awful, but I wouldn’t buy it again
