Mid to light crimson in colour. Red fruited, cherry and strawberry, and light spice - a touch of Sous Bois. Surprisingly light in palate weight - more fruit than savoury driven. Tastes a lot younger (and fresher) than 7 years of age. A sweetish jujube character on the palate - light tannins and acid. The following night, a stewed rhubarb character on the palate. In summary a very good new world Pinot if not a little on the light side.

May 29th, 2021Mid crimson in colour. Initial aromas after decanting of oak and vegetal notes. A little reticent. On the palate just medium weight with M plus Acid. At this age needs food. Probably just at the beginning of its drinking window - latent power, yet to blossom into its best expression. Revealed more on the 2nd night with quite a sweet palate developing. Will leave my 2nd bottle for a few years. A quality Pinot with a good future.

Rich, ripe black cherry, fleshy dense core. Earthy, black mushroom, sandlewood, and woodsy spice with soft texture and juicy fresh acidity. Pairs great with stranger things!🙃

Maybe just to young to be open now. Too fruity for me, but a great wine form SC.

Tasted the lineup which included a single vineyard and Syrah at the Hearts Delight press lunch. Nice structure and fruit but way too tight to really get a sense of how good i know these can be.
