What a lovely Pinot! We were having Thai food so this paired very well since we had Red Curry and Pad Thai. A little earthy at first, some tobacco, but the fruits came forward as it opened and I tasted strawberry and raspberry coming through. It had a nice acidity to it so it didn't feel too heavy and got better as the bottle was open and still on the same glass. One to savor for sure! — 10 months ago

This surprisingly exceeded my expectations. Layers of cherry and darker fruits with a bit of graphite and pepper. Poured through an aerator and it was ready to go. — 2 years ago
Had this 2021 as part of a tasting flight at Foxen this October. Having it now. Incredibly bright acidity. A lot of melon, citrus and cranberry flavors. Aromatic and full bodied and dry throughout. — 2 years ago
