Cool last vintage by Puffeney. Earthy high acid. If you can hold for a few years to let the fruit come forward

Decanted for 90+ minutes. Initially lean, but began filling out with time. May become more nuanced with time, but VA character is personally unappetizing.

Wet stone. Perfumed rose water. Fruit punch jolly rancher. Bright, tart red fruit. Pepper, saline and quiet spice. High-toned, puckering acid. Cool tannic grip.

damned with faint praise, it's a nice Pinot Noir, stems and tannins more than fruit and earth, not something I'd seek out. Nice wine, not special. Others can opine and tell me what I am missing.

Red cherries, barnyard, white pepper, cloves, truffle, wet rocks. Excellent acid/smooth velvet tannins, medium bodied, juicy/slightly silky texture, long fruity/earthy finish. Lots of character. Going to miss Puffeney wines, 2014 final vintage.

I couldn't wait. Grippy but luscious and structured.
