PnP. Last tasted on release in 9/2022. Lots of red fruit upfront, spice form oak, has some underlying earthy notes as well. The nose is really intense and vibrant. It's still very young, but not as grapey and primary as it was when last tasted. Medium body, medium+ acidity, well integrated tannins (but you do pick them up more in the finish). Worth trying now, but this has a lot of potential, so it's also worth stashing several for the future. Great value. Score may be conservative.

Fantastic young pinot. Very aromatic for a young wine with violets and intense strawberry flavors. Well poised mid weight palate that is crunchy and fresh. Adds a little spiciness on the finish. Huge over performance for the price.

I drank alongside the 21 to get a sense of vintage differences. The 22 is more red-fruited with less extract and lower tannins while the sensation of acid is higher. Nice wine, but the 21s are likely to be longer lived. Buy more to drink.

Drinking very well on pop and poor. Expressive nose, not as grapey/young on the palate as I'd feared, but should do very well with a bit more time.

Dark, savory, earthy aromatics. Bright red fruit on the palate. Fine now, lots of fun ahead.
