2009 vintage. At The Arts Club. Pale lemon hue. Very clean nose, chalky, citrus fruit (fresh) character, slight rubbery TDN development in the background. On the palette, slight impression of some residual sugar (possibly off dry), high integrated acidity, medium plus concentration, medium alcohol, medium plus finish, very clean and precise - no angles but lots of flavour. Steely and wet stone character and a lovely full texture to the wine. Very good. — 10 years ago

I'm going high on this one. Up front is a lot of big fruit with all kinds of cherry, red, black, and dried. But it's complex, with apple, strawberry and much else mixed in. Acidity is high, but just right to balance the fruit. There is moderate stony minerality and herbal notes here and there. Tannins are very restrained and this is a light and approachable wine. It gets more complex as it airs. I think it would be very good with charcuterie and sausages. I had it with a shrimp and sausage etouffe. It has enough fruit to stand up to strong flavors and enough acidity to cut through rich food. This comes from a very northern planting of Pinot, and it's an unusual and interesting wine. Shout out to the folks at Wine Poste in the Bishop Arts District for stocking this and putting it in a tasting. — 9 years ago
