Aromatic on the nose with red berry freshness. In mouth the wine is not balanced as the acidity and the tannins remain dominant over the fruit. There is more forest floor than berries in mouth. Likely to improve from here but I would not open yet.

The previous comments seem spot on. Medium bodied, with fleshy, bright, dense red fruit, intertwined with baking spices, fine grained tannins, and nice acidity. The structure of this stands out. Feels like one to lay down for awhile, but still very enjoyable now.

A young but really nice Pinot! I agree with KJD45$, open this for yourself or folks that can appreciate the multiple flavors and layers.
Nose of red raspberry, cherry, earthy spices. The palate is medium+ in body with layers of red fruits, earth and spices. The tannin structure is still pretty tight and a tad astringent but the juicy fruit shines though.
Although quite good now a few years in the cellar should prove worthwhile!

Wonderful spicy berry nose, with tannins and fruits still largely unresolved. It may taste great now folks but please, lose it in your cellars for a few more years and then really see it shine!

Excellent Pinot with the great fruit nicely backed by earthiness and minerality....lots of complexity to make it a Pinot to thoughtfully enjoy.. Wouldn’t open for a crowd .... share it with your “wine friends”
