Probably a bit wary to open up a 2017, but decanted it awhile and it opened right up. Beautiful cherries, strawberry, tar and brambles with some dried rose hips and herbs on the nose. Firm tannins (could use more age), alcohol a bit overly prevalent - my guess is the 14% on the label is much closer to 15% than 14.0. But that adds a nice body and texture. Very clean. A good value for this quality wine.

2017 vintage. Pinot noir weight, body and color. Strawberry and raspberry flavor components up front. Cracked black pepper, tar, parched earth and blackberry on the finish. Tannins afoot but not frighteningly so. Opened a little early but still harmonious.

Pinot-like color. Earthy nose. Cherry and earth taste. High, puckering tannin. Good, but would benefit from a few years in the cellar.
