PNP drank over the evening. I have been hoping this entry level bottling might be more accessible young, but they aren’t doing it for me. Raspberry, some noticeable oak. Well made, just not exciting. This will get better with time, but if I’m going to cellar these, its worth the step up to the Estate and the other SVDs.

Darker color than a typical pinot with legs. berry, forest floor, petroleum nose bounded by some citrus. A little closed. Very berry and cherry flavored with a pleasing medium acidity backbone. The heat of the alcohol does punch through in the aftertaste. Pretty light in body. A little stone hiding in the back. You might drink this while reading a mystery novel. Pretty good. I rate it 90 gf rates it 92. 91 overall.

Drank with 17 Eyrie and 17 Goodfellow ribbon ridge, least favorite of the night. More fruit forward with higher levels of oak led to a more flavorful first sip but quickly became tedious.

Lots of VA at first, largely blows off and becomes quite drinkable. 86ish after 3 hours.
