Beautiful wine. Soft dried and fresh fruit. Little bricking and also unfiltered. Light, delicate, pretty. Soft tannins and balanced acids lead to a long finish Exactly what I was hoping for. Great in its own but also paired well with spaghetti, marinara w sautéed zucchini and mushrooms. Day two no change.

Drank well tonight, but seems like there is more hiding that will out with time. As others noted, this has the acidity to age for quite a few more years.

Good textbook OR Pinot. Good balance - subdued red fruit, vibrant acidity. Cherries, damp floor, mushrooms. Should reward a few more yrs of cellaring - acidity provides enough structure. Good potential for tertiaries emerging in a few more yrs?

Drank several nights ago as part of a vertical that included 2011 and 2013-2016. This screams Dundee Hills, with a cherry cough syrup character that I find very appealing and distinct. Herbs and cherries on the nose. Developing nicely. If you have a few bottles, it's worth drinking one now. But I also look forward to drinking my other two bottles in a few years. Drink or hold.

Acidity still there, but fruit is mostly gone. Was better 3 yrs ago.
