Hundred Suns
Bednarik Vineyard Pinot Noir
Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA
Pop and pour: excellent aromatics, somewhat muddled on the palate. Notes from 1.5 hrs open. On the nose: asian spice, red fruit, blueberry. On the palate: excellent acidity, bitter herbs and minerality, a touch of heat, pomegranate, cherry pit and grainy tannin on the slightly hot finish.

May 17th, 2023Pop and pour (but to be enjoyed over at least a couple of days). Notes from 15 min open. On the nose: intense rose and earth, spice. a touch of va, vanilla and cranberry...wow, this is elegant, but the nose is a lovely statement. On the palate: ok acidity at first, but creamy and good density on the mid with wild strawberry cream and roses, with acidity slowly building, until.intense finely grained tannin kicks in on the finish. Soft pepper, but the tannin is the last thing I taste: very intense. An excellent btl, but we'l see what tomorrow brings..my first experience with this producer.
