  Disclosure: No rating on purpose, as this bottle was provided to me as a thank you for helping with BerserkerDay.
  
  Notably, the Sequitur vineyard is owned by Oregon legend Mike Etzel of Beaux Freres fame. Hundred Suns owner/winemaker Grant Coulter was the winemaker at Beaux Freres for ten years before venturing off on his own.
  
  Drank over two days. This wine has the pleasant plummy soft fruits and medium minus-ish body that I find in many Ribbon Ridge Pinots. For me, serving temperature is very important for Ribbon Ridge. This showed best between 55 and 60 degrees, which coaxes out a nice balancing acidity on the back end. The last glass was the best.
  
  This would be a great wine for exploring how temperature affects the tasting experience.
  
  Drink now (at cellar temp!) or hold.

  A little darker and earthier on the nose but then more mid-weight with some blue and red fruits with nice acidity after that. Should explore more here.

  Bright and tart cherry fruit. High acidity and slightly chalky tannins. Definitely built to age a bit. Will be better in a couple of years.
