Immediate tart fruit nose - raspberry and blueberry, rhubarb; gives way to ripe blackcurrant. Hints of charcoal.

Lovely palate - beautiful balance. Very smooth texture - very well integrated tannins. Starts with more tree bark-sequence notes, herbaceous and cinnamon undertones, before fading into rich, soft black and purple fruit, with exceptionally bouncy black currant again a dominating theme, and with minor forest floor undertones to add the equivalent of subtle crows feet.
It's like it tells you it's age first, then proceeds to flirt with you. This is a cougar wine: it snares you with a sense of mature yet bouncy fun and then proceeds to beguile you with a mix of old and new in both aroma, taste and texture. A slightly high level of acid from its advanced years is a low price to pay for drinking it all.

Lovely long finish that gives beautiful chewy fruit, yielding to herby zest after seemingly long time.

Only criticisms are a slight muddling of fruit flavours, and a slight preponderance of acid on the front of the tongue. — 7 years ago

Hard to believe there are only a few reviews of this wine on here. Matt is an all around nice guy making some of the best Pinot out there from Napa fruit. Super fresh, complex and delicious, red-fruited Pinot here with tons of spice and nuance. Highly enjoyable. — 8 years ago

This really needs the @Bill Bender photo treatment to deflect the snickering, but it was a surprisingly balanced and delicious wine. #meow — 7 years ago
