Very light color. Complex, Burgundian nose. Sappy slightly sour cherry, warm brioche, moist humus, and loads of limestoney minerals. Lean, with lots of clingy sour cherry fruit and limestone. High acidity makes it seem more youthful than a typical 7 year old Cali PN. Very unique style for New World. Compares well to an Auxerrois or Sancerre Pinot.

Red brick on the eye with medium+ viscosity. Nose sees vanilla/oak, sweet tobacco, cherries. Palette sees overcooked stewed tart cherries and strawberries. Pretty solid Pinot, but lacks a ton of complexity.

Apr 3rd, 2017Very clear brick color, medium+ viscosity. Ripe red fruits, cherries, raspberries, oak on nose. Palette sees ripe red raspberries, chocolate covered cranberries, tartness and medium acid, medium finish. Finish is a bit thin and non complex for the price ($27), but an interesting Marin Pinot (my first).

Entrancingly spicy on the nose, and despite the pale color, it has great intensity and the fruit is supported by fine tannin and nice acidity.
