I’m a noob to Santa Cruz pinots, and looking forward to exploring the appellation in time.
PnP at cellar temp. Very light in color and body, true to its 12% abv. Nose is immediately intense and complex. Freshly baked cherry pie, sweet baking spices, botanicals, just-lighted bonfire, wet forest floor, soy sauce, and a catch all of funk. Palette is tense at this age, striking in the front and lifted in the mid. The finish lingers to infinity like a sherry would. Beautiful and very Burgundian. But an unusual bedfellow to tonight’s dinner of frozen pizza 🙃.

Jun 12th, 2020Amazing richness and flavor without any excess weight in 12% abv package. Savory red fruits with well-integrated tannins and a flavorful savory finish. Very nice now with a one hour decant, probably better in a year or two.
