Nice SLO pinot. The fruit runs to the darker side, and it also carries some gamy/stemmy savoriness. That might make it sound like a syrah, but it's clearly pinot - and well balanced at that. Beautiful food friendly acidity, and despite the flavor profiles, not overly extracted at all. Medium weight and delicious with roast salmon and corn cakes. Yum!

Garnet, ruby with med-lite viscosity in the glass. Cedar, pepper, hide, smoke, plum and chalky minerals on the nose. Secondary diesel soot. Medium body with tar, cedar, menthol, bright red fruit, cherry and wet stone on the palate. Secondary game. Clean and mineral driven with a sturdy structure. Medium finish. Mildly complex and food friendly.

Bright ruby and garnet with medium, lite viscosity in the glass. Syrah-like on the nose with plum, pepper, chalk and cherry. Secondary coffee and game. Super clean and medium bodied on the palate with plum, cherry, cinnamon and chalky minerality. Secondary raspberry and smoke. Subtly complex with balanced layers, excellent structure and softly gripping tannin. Medium, long finish. Top-notch food pinot.

Nice medium weight Pinot. Very brooding dark fruit on the profile. Nice minerality compliments the fruit. Just a little on the sweet side.
