Nice light color. Really struggling with this wine. Not sure what I'm smelling... Light vanilla? Maybe a little lightly toasted oak? Some cherry. Palette seems to lack fruit and tastes somewhat stemmy. The finish is excessively dry. The more I examine this and the more air it gets the less impressed I am.

CA pinot all the way. Medium deep red to the rim. Powerful dark red fruit nose with a strong Pinot ID. Nice luscous mouthfeel with strong cola and red raspberry flavors (don't get any cherry), crisp acid that persists on the soft tannins exdended sweet fruit finish. Carefully made and nicely balanced. I like this more than the Hahn SLV which is similar in structure and flavors. Get more.

Lovely & mature, albeit simple.

Still going well. Simple and straightforward. No reason to hold.

Clean, fresh new world pinot noir. Fully developed and delicious. Should be good through 2020 at least.
