Plum and blueberry fruit. Then some earthy, meaty goodness. Bold flavors and then a short finish. Better before the meal than with it.
8/31/2020 Bottle time seems to have helped the structure. Still lots of earthy goodness and Pinot funk, but winds down slower than what my first note indicates.

Medicinal cola with some menthol on the finish. Not as rounded as most vintages and a little sharp. Love the balance, but some of the flavors are off, even for your typical ripe California PN.

Paired with salmon prepared by daughter, Beth. Really superb -- both the salmon dinner and the wine. This bottler has become my favorite California pinot noir provider.

A very nice Pinot. Some earthiness but plenty of fruit. Probably a bit young right now; but still enjoyable.

Tasted with the Loring with the same grape and vintage - this had a more peppery taste. Love them both
