2016 Briceland Vineyards Pinot Noir Ronda's Vineyard

What struck me the most about this wine was the purity of fruit. It was like the grapes made the wine themselves. Red raspberry, red cherry and strawberry. Over time some more of the earthy tones came out. Lots of good structure. Everything in balance, nothing protruding. This might be the purest Pinot I’ve tasted to date in ‘23. Glad I’ve got another bottle to check out in 3-5 more years.

Hard to believe this is my first bottle of this wine after tasting it at the winery back in July 2018. But oh so worth the wait. I don’t think this has begun to hit maturity I agree with some of the others that this wine toes the line between creaminess and acidity. The nose leans towards lemon curd with minty, herbal overtones and a hint of woodsiness. The most striking element of the palate for me is the texture - like a luxurious satin. Palate starts out with a little more ripe fruit but then finishes with a burst of citrusy acidity. All while riding along on a waxy/creamy undercarriage. Light and lively with lots of tension. I’m not going to be rushing to have my 2nd and last bottle. But it may be hard to keep my hands off it. <Hat tip to Seth>!

4.5 years since my last bottle. Pop and splashed into a decanter. Much improved since the last bottle. Red and black cherry with a touch of chalk dust/crushed rock and some dry leaves (that could also be caused by the four hours I spent raking such leaves today!). Definitely still lots of tannin here. Much improved but still unwinding. @short and confused, maybe time to try another bottle and let me know if you agree!
