PnP. Light ruby red, no bricking at the edge. Very aromatic with aromas of tart cherry, raspberry, black tea and spice. Still primary showing tart cherry, raspberry, black tea, spice, and light oak. Good balance with nice acidity and a smooth finish.

What a dynamite bottle of pinot. Beautiful nose of tart cherries. Translucent and garnet-colored. Medium bodied, balanced acidity, and sophisticated (not lush) notes of cherries and tart strawberries. Edited on day two to add a point, from 93 to 94 — this got even better after the remaining 1/2 of the 750ml bottle was recorked and put in the fridge overnight — the acidity toned down a bit and the fruit put on weight. Sometimes pinot fruit “darkens” overnight in the fridge, but not in this case - just got even more complex and delicious. Very impressive.

Nowhere near past its drinking window as the CT dates suggest. Delicious.

Tart cranberry, juicy cherry and lifted notes of orange rind and spice. Great with food.
