Muted perfumed nose. The mouth was red fruit with cranberry and cherry predominant with a jammy quality. As with previous TN the length is short, and my feeling is the wine is on the downward arch.
Day 2. Took a turn for the worse overwhelming flavor of smoke, wood, and BBQ not in a good way.

My last bottle. This just has never wowed me, and this bottle didn't change that. PnP. Aromas of cherry, red licorice, spice and stems. Light in color. Light to medium body with light flavors of red cherry, red licorice, spice, and stems. Very short finish. Good balance. Not what I expect for the price point. There is a reason I quit buying this vineyard. Not my style.

Seemingly mature, with a cedar/sandalwood spice note with some tertiary fruit flavors. Palate a little diffuse at this point and without some of the intensity of “better” vintages. Probably at peak I would think.

Delightful Pinot - no need to breathe. Rose petals, pine needles, blackberry jam, hints of pine needles and kumquat
