I was a bit conflicted on this wine, first from RM from this vineyard. I've been drinking juice from Bearwallow for years from Rhys, and it's always one of my favorite of their bottles. With TRB at the helm on this one, a little rounder and more fruit-forward than I was expecting...but well within the RM house style which I enjoy. With that said, this is a beautiful wine with many happy years ahead of it.

Popped and poured; had a (plastic) glass or so before and during the Thanksgiving meal. Solid stuff, drinking well right now; no complaints regarding this rich, accessible Pinot Noir.

Drunk in San Diego. Lovely wine! Agree with the notes from others. Cola and red fruit profile. Bigger on flavour but this isn’t a Russian river valley sweet fruit Pinot. This is very fresh red fruit (on the darker side of red if that makes sense) with very fine acidity. Not overly complex - this isn’t layers and layers of flavour - it’s just consistency delicious.

Pop and pour. Red fruit and floral driven. Good palate presence and intensity of flavor.
