Lean and earthy. Varietal but lacking in fruit density , with the result that the minimal oak comes close to overwhelming the fruit. Other bottles have enthused me more, but tonight this comes across as very average.

Light, dry and savory. Quite varietal, but the fruit quality is so light that the minimal oak seems to poke out a bit. The tannic and acid structure adds a food friendly palate profile. There is a sense of high toned sophistication that is appealing.

Fine Pinot of no pretension. Product of a ripe vintage, but clearly also of high yields and minimal intervention. This is correct and tangy and food friendly. Itching special, but certainly above average in quality. By letting the fruit express itself, it charms more than more worked and concentrated pinots...

There is a lot to like about this wine- bright acid, easy texture, smokey oak and varietal. It is also not too ripe and candied, rather relying on minerality and an almost white wine texture to bring a refreshing, easy to understand food wine to the table.

Light, smokey and mineral. Powdery tannic structure frames a light bodied wine that is attractive and easy to air with food.
